Description
October 29 Toronto In his capacity as informal mediator between minority groups and Toronto police, Gerald Emmett Cardinal Carter released a report that called on the Metro Toronto Police Force to improve its relations with minority groups and to establish some form of civilian review procedure. The report avoided referring to gay concerns, although at a press conference Carter did state that consensual sexual acts performed in private were no concern of the police, and agreed that the police should not have laid bawdy house charges in the Barracks steam bath raid. The Police Commission adopted the report's recommendations on November 1, 1979, and struck two committees to deal with them. (See also December 13, 1979.)
