ST. THOMAS, ONT. St. Thomas police continue to stress they can t arrest their way out of the cycle of poverty, addiction, homelessness and mental health. Monday they went to social media to educate residents how the current catch and release approach to justice is affecting them on a daily basis. After arrest and charge, and the evidence is is given before the courts, the courts ultimately make the decision of what s going to happen, says Tanya Calvert, corporate communications coordinator at the St. Thomas Police Service (STPS). It s unique for a police service to use Facebook for this type of public awareness campaign.
