No.

Put that money into the courts, because there's no point of having more police if we aren't even seeing criminal cases to their conclusion!

When rape and murder victims aren't able to seek justice because there aren't enough resources for the courts to have a trial, you know things are screwed up.

And what's the point of "catch and release, and re-catch and re-release" of criminals anyway? It's just another burden that costs taxpayers money without any convictions!

Municipal budgets don't fund those things.

I'm not asking Toronto to pay for it. But it makes no sense for municipal police to get more funding when provincial courts are underfunded.
