For the past five years, Edmonton Police Service Chief Rod Knecht had advocated on behalf of the service to anyone who would listen that the city would benefit from a wellness centre.
Knecht said the police and criminal justice system are not the solution to issues like homelessness or mental health.
“We shouldn’t be arresting these people. Police should be focused on the predators, the people who are taking advantage of those people and not those who are disadvantaged and in distress.”
