Even if a drop in gun violence was observed in Quebec in 2023, several major events punctuated this year which was almost as bloody as the previous one.
“A year of great violence”
This year has been “a year of great violence,” according to Roger Ferland, former investigator with the Quebec City Police Service (SPVQ).
The expert believes that the Montreal City Police Service (SPVM) has managed to complete several long-term cases in major interventions.
“These are choices that come from politics,” believes the former investigator.
Organized crime is disorganized
The new generation entering the ranks of organized crime has shaken up the way things are done, believes Mr. Ferland.
“Organized crime has offered its authority for years in a certain hierarchical order, but new trends are being observed. Young people with a new mentality decided that they no longer respected that and that led to excesses,” he explains.
“There is a law of physics that exists: when [there is] a force, we must oppose [it] an equal or sufficient resistance. [...] It is not true that it is time that will resolve things. We will have to take powerful actions,” he specifies.
According to him, mental health issues are part of the new reality with which police officers must deal.
He also calls for focusing on prevention among young people.
The things with this article make it seem like the guy who are against the HAs are really youngs. But sure you got guys in the their twenties, bit you also got guys in the mid to end of their thirties.
And many of those gangs members or independents know the new generation of full patch HA. Since many are from the same neighborhoods or school. So the thing in Quebec city is not only some youngins, but young adults.
