Canada: More power urged to pu
Out of the 77 times B.C.'s police complaint commissioner found misconduct this year, only one resulted in a maximum suspension, and the commissioner's office is hoping new legislation will offer more clout to punish police who are out of line.

But Bruce Brown, the deputy commissioner, said in an interview that he hopes long-awaited changes to the Police Act surrounding officer discipline will be made by the legislature in this fall sitting.
And David Eby, of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, said the fact that all but 19 of the substantiated complaints came from police departments themselves means the system isn't functioning for the public.
The one allegation that resulted in the maximum five-day suspension involved an officer convicted of assault for kicking an alleged car thief in the face.
The only other sanction more serious is outright dismissal. That penalty was not handed out in the complaints examined by the commissioner this year.
