Description

February 18 East York, Ont. In a talk before students at East York Collegiate, Metropolitan Toronto Police Chief Jack Ackroyd declared that, in reference to the recent bath raids, the police were not picking on homosexuals and that his department was open to discussing matters of concern to them. Ackroyd had earlier suggested that relations between gays and the police might improve if several homosexual officers could be found to act as a liaison.
