  Quebec police admit they went undercover at Montebello protest
Quebec provincial police admitted Thursday that three of their officers disguised themselves as demonstrators during the protest at the North American leaders summit in Montebello, Que.
Police said the three were told to monitor protesters who were not peacefully demonstrating to prevent any violent incidents, but they were called out as undercover agents when they refused to throw objects.
Quebec Justice Minister Jacques Dupuis was made aware of the news, but a spokesman from his office said he will not comment on the matter either.

  A Chain-Link Fence Rankles an Old Walled City
QUEBEC — Separation has always been entwined in the raison d'être of this beguiling bit of France, a walled city perched on a towering promontory and defined by the limits of geography, language and politics.
Thousands of police officers are coming to back up what is being called Quebec's "wall of shame," and many Canadians are asking whether such separation is necessary, or is anti-democratic overkill, infringing not only on the rights of protesters but also on the character of a country known for tolerance and civility.
Quebec has erected blue banners on the road from the airport welcoming delegates to "la capitale nationale." Officials expected to be invited to welcome the meeting's dignitaries and extol Quebec's virtues.

 Police Force
Comparing the costs of policing in provinces with their own provincial police force with provinces that don’t and rely on the RCMP provides a good base of comparison.
In the past, the provincially controlled Alberta Provincial Police proved to be much more in tune with the communities they policed than the RNWMP force they replaced.
Restoring the Alberta Provincial Police would not remove the RCMP from the province anymore than it has provinces like Ontario, Quebec or Newfoundland which have their own provincial police forces.

 Police and Technology: Historical Review and Current Status   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
As radio communications improved over time, police officers were able to respond more quickly, track down suspects more rapidly, even outside their territory, and communicate information concerning an incident from the station or from the patrol car, thus making it possible for the people nearest to the scene to respond without delay.
Police officers have traditionally posted city maps on walls and used tacks to pinpoint the areas where specific types of crimes are prevalent, such as break-ins, homicides, car thefts, etc. The Crime Mapping System enables police officers to quickly display a city map on a computer screen and identify areas of concern.
The police can find out quickly the number of offenses committed at or near a specific address, the offenses committed near the address of a person known to law enforcement, whether a known individual lives close to the area where the crime was committed or whether a convicted pedophile lives near a school.
