The City of Williams Lake Council is hoping to see stronger sentencing and monitoring of prolific offenders and repeat offenders.
Currently, Council is seeking the public’s input on custody and electronic monitoring, as well as Council’s pursuit of an inquiry into the judicial and sentencing system. A survey has been set up by Council.
Using electronic monitoring would still provide offenders with a reasonably limited freedom. The use of this technology does not compromise the safety of the public to the degree that releasing repeat offenders does.
At Council’s request, the possibility of a public inquiry to determine why so many prolific offenders with serious charges are released is now being pursued by the MLA and MP. The survey can be found here.
