“This puts every officer in even more danger than they’re already put in. Our police deserve the right to be safe and to have the ability to protect themselves from danger.”
Justice and Policing Reform Act of 2019
Rationale
Avalon's policing philosophy is currently based on prevention. Introducing specialist armed units and judicial discretion creates a more proportionate justice system, aligning policing and sentencing with good governance while ensuring decisions are made by appropriately trained professionals.
