The Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) is urging the federal government to introduce reforms to the country's bail system to protect communities from violent offenders. The meeting with provincial and territorial premiers was held to discuss the safety of police officers. The premiers are calling for the extension of a federal guns and gangs strategy and urgent reforms to the country's bail system. The meeting also addressed the issue of funding for the Guns and Gang Violence Action Fund, which the CACP says has not been followed through on by the federal government.
