Winnipeg Police Service News Release:

Friday, February 17, 2012   LAWFUL ACCESS – BILL C-30   The Winnipeg Police Service would like to acknowledge formal support for Bill C-30. These legislative improvements surrounding electronic communication will provide police with the necessary tools to more effectively investigate serious crime involving electronic devices and electronic mediums, such as the internet.   Organized crime, sexual predators, gangs and identity thieves are using these mediums to commit serious crime in our country. Canada's legislation has not kept pace with technology, and the purpose of this legislation is to modernize tools used by law enforcement and provide for the preservation of data and information.   Bill C-30 places oversight and reporting provisions on police to safeguard citizen's privacy and defines processes for police to investigate these challenging crimes.    This new law is not about giving police new powers, but rather to update laws to reflect new technologies.     For further information contact either: Constable Natalie Aitken, Public Information Officer Constable Jason Michalyshen, Public Information Officer Office: (204)986-3061 Fax: (204) 986-3267 Email: WPS-PIO@Winnipeg.ca   Web: www.winnipeg.ca/Police
