When the Ford government announced on April 16 it was giving police officers additional powers to stop, question and issue fines to people who violated the province’s newly announced stay-at-home orders, reaction from the London police services board was swift.
Board chair Javeed Sukhera was on the phone with police Chief Stephen Williams shortly after the unexpected declaration, hashing through what London’s response should be.
