Description
May 17 Toronto The Metropolitan Board of Commissioners of Police delayed taking action on complaints regarding police harassment of gays and other minorities. Several community groups, including the Working Group on Police-Minority Relations, had submitted briefs to the board in April 1979, with the promise that the board would respond by May 17. One of the major demands of the briefs was for the establishment of a permanent police liaison with the gay community. (See also May 31, 1979.)
