Episode 138 Yvonne Leroux    Detectives in the York Regional Police, located in Ontario, Canada, had a perplexing scene on their hands in late November 1972. A teenage girl was found dead in the middle of a quiet roadway, bludgeoned to death. It appeared she may have been raped as well.  The victim, 16 year old Yvonne Leroux, was well known to police because of her recent history as the victim in a drug-pushing biker gang's threats to her safety. But all investigative avenues in pursuit of this information led nowhere. Detectives over the years revived the case, but got nowhere until they obtained a male DNA profile from Yvonne's autopsy samples in 2001. Finally, in 2021, the investigation turned to IGG, the oldest cold case taken up by Canada's only in-house law enforcement genealogy team.  They quickly named the man who had killed Yvonne. Her family was relieved to know who had taken Yvonne from them, although many questions remain unanswered.

Greg Brady (@GregBradyTO) focuses in on  the federal government stepping in, after less than a full day of a rail stoppage, ordering CN Rail and CPKC, and the union to binding arbitration. Everyone thought this was great news – and that meant the rails would start rolling – but, late Thursday – the Teamsters union issued a statement via X, disputing the government's decision – meaning the stoppage is still on. How long will it take to get the issue resolved? We ask John Corey, President of the Freight Management Association of Canada. Next,  Mike Van Soelen, a crisis communications expert with Oyster Group. We talked about CUPE Ontario President Fred Hahn – his union has called for his resignation due to an antisemitic social media post, but Hahn says he won't back down and What's the move here? How can Hahn win this battle? Lastly, Sean O'Shea, Global News Consumer and Investigative Reporter and we were talking about a devastating ending to the story of a missing Ontario real estate agent. A Markham woman named Yuk-Ying Anita Mui, 56, was reported missing by her family on August 9th. York Regional Police say the burned human remains that were found in Parry Sound have been identified as those from a missing Ontario real estate agent.

In 2014, York Regional Police in Ontario established an undercover investigation known as Project Raphael, the objective of which was to reduce the demand for sexual services from minors in the region. The investigation involved officers posting fake advertisements in the “escorts” section of Backpage.com, an online classified advertising website. When an individual would respond to an ad, an undercover officer, posing as an escort, would disclose the fact that “she” was underage. If conversation continued, an arrangement for sexual services and price was made, and the individual would be directed to a hotel room for the transaction to occur. Upon arrival, the individuals were then arrested and charged. Temitope Dare, Erhard Haniffa, Muhammad Jaffer, and Cory Ramelson were all charged with child luring and communicating to obtain sexual services from a minor as a result of Project Raphael. Three of the four individuals were convicted at trial, and their appeals were dismissed at the Court of Appeal for Ontario. Mr. Ramelson's matters were stayed at the court of first instance, but this stay was set aside on appeal. Dare, Haniffa, and Jaffer sought and were granted leave to appeal to the Supreme Court of Canada. Mr. Ramelson appealed as of right. In all four appeals, the Supreme Court will consider the proper analysis to be applied in determining whether entrapped a person within a virtual space like the internet.The Supreme Court of Canada is now hearing all four appeals together. Mr. Jaffer was found guilty by a jury of (1) child luring under 18 (s. 172.1(2) of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C 46), and communicating to obtain for consideration the sexual services of a person under 18 (s. 212(4) (now s. 286.1(2))). The sentencing judge stayed the S. 286.1 charge pursuant to Kineapple. Mr. Jaffer's defence of entrapment, a post-trial motion brought seeking a stay of proceedings, was dismissed at trial. His appeal of that dismissal was unanimously dismissed by the Ontario Court of Appeal. Similarly, Mr. Dare was found guilty of three offences at his trial: child luring under 18 ss. 172.1(1)(a)), child luring under 16172.1(1)(b), and communicating to obtain sexual services from a minor. 286.1(2). His post-trial entrapment stay application was also dismissed at trial, and his appeal at the Ontario Court of Appeal was dismissed. What follows is a presentation of the facts of each of the companion cases under appeal. Haniffa v the QueenMr. Haniffa was convicted at trial, but in a post-trial application argued that his charges should be stayed due to entrapment. The trial judge dismissed the application.The issue on appeal was whether Mr. Haniffa was entrapped by reason of the police providing an opportunity to commit crimes without first having a reasonable suspicion that the appellants were engaged in criminal activity, or pursuant to a bone fide police inquiry. Justice Jurianz found that, applying the Supreme Court's decision in Ahmad, the law of entrapment had not changed for virtual spaces. The appellants argued that the investigation was no more than random virtue testing. Justice Jurianz disagreed.Mr. RamelsonAt the court of first instance, Mr. Ramelson argued that he was entrapped by police to commit the offences charged, and made an application for a stay of proceedings accordingly. The trial judge dismissed the application, but after the dismissal, The Supreme Court of Canada's decision in Ahmed was released. The trial judge invited the parties back to make further submissions on the issue of entrapment, and this time, the trial judge found that the police actions constituted entrapment and entered a stay of proceedings. The Crown appealed. A unanimous panel at the Court of Appeal for Ontario allowed the appeal. Mr. Ramelson appealed to the Supreme Court of Canada.

Guest: Jeremy Grimaldi, crime reporter at Yorkregion.com With other 200 charges and 20 suspects, last year's Project Platinum was hailed as a successful operation led by York Regional Police.

From organized crime to drugs and gambling, we take a look at why and how some criminal activities have ended up unprosecuted.

At trial the appellant, Corey Daniel Ramelson, was found guilty of three indictable offences under ss. 172.1, 172.2 and 286.1 of the Criminal Code, R.S.C. 1985, c. C 46. The appellant's charges arose out of Project Raphael designed by the York Regional Police in Ontario — an undercover investigation that began in 2014 with the objective of reducing the demand for sexual services from juveniles in the region by targeting the “buyer side”. As part of the investigation, the police posted fake advertisements in the “escorts” section of the online classified advertising website Backpage.com. When individuals responded to the ads an undercover officer posing as an escort would disclose in the ensuing text chat that “she” was underage. Individuals who continued the chat and arranged sexual services and a price were directed to a hotel room to complete the transaction; they were then arrested and charged on their arrival. The trial judge originally dismissed the appellant's application for a stay of proceedings based on entrapment. However, after this Court released its decision in R. v. Ahmad, 2020 SCC 11, the parties were invited to address the impact of that decision on the entrapment analysis. In a second decision the trial judge found that the police actions constituted entrapment and entered a stay of proceedings on the charges. The Court of Appeal unanimously allowed the Crown's appeal from the stay of proceedings, set aside the stay and remitted the matter to the trial judge for sentencing. The court concluded that the police investigation was a bona fide police inquiry and that the police did not require reasonable suspicion that the person responding to the ad was seeking someone underage before extending offers to commit the offence of communicating to obtain for consideration the sexual services of an underage person. In conducting the investigation, the police necessarily provided persons with the opportunity to commit the rationally connected offence of communicating with a person they believed to be underage to facilitate sexual contact with them. The court concluded that the appellant was therefore not entrapped.

this links to linking to silos   00:25:39- The analyst role: where we are, where we are going, where we want to be   Bio: I began my career at York Regional Police in 2008 as a District Crime Analyst serving the regions of Newmarket and Markham and eventually serving as a Crime Analyst for the region of Vaughan and King for four years.  Some of my responsibilities included analyzing data and applying research methods to identify crime patterns and series, modus operandi profiles, victim/target profiles and identifying high crime/call areas or locations where public disorder are likely to occur.  Moreover, the District Crime Analyst forecasts, projects and analyzes crime by conducting correlation and regression analysis and using various investigative analysis software, database programs, statistical calculations and other computer software to determine if crimes are linked.  We are also responsible for identifying and monitoring known criminals/organizations and any potential police hazards within the community.  After years of service in the Districts and embedded with the York communities, I was assigned to the Intelligence Unit where I worked as a strategic analyst while assigned to a variety of organized crime portfolios.  I believe that I am considered a subject matter expert as it relates to Eastern European Organized Crime (EEOC), Organized Distraction Thefts and Fraud Investigations and have several Intelligence Reports that warrant my awareness of these crime types and organizational groups.  I supported 5 different criminal portfolios on a tactical and strategic level inclusive of Fraud, Hold Up, Drugs & Vice and Eastern European Organized Crime (Georgian Organized Crime) understanding principles of organized crime and gang intelligence in Canada.  My functions included developing meticulous linkage analysis charts while producing detailed and referenced strategic intelligence reports.  I also analyzed electronic records meticulously producing reports for investigative practice and disclosure and testified at several trials including delivery testimony in an attempted murder investigation in relation to the movement of the accused parties telephone records and tower locations.  I am also considered well versed in the area of social media analysis with advanced capabilities at discovering identities online while utilizing open source searches and software to manage organizational risk.  In 2009 I was awarded the Crime Analyst of the year award after being nominated by senior officials for his analytical support in several criminal investigations and for exceeding the organizations values with respect to teamwork and accountability.   As a result of my extensive experiences and background, I was asked by senior officials to be seconded to the newly formed Real Time Operations Centre (RTOC) at York Regional Police as a Criminal Intelligence Analyst to assist in creating / developing the crime analyst position.   After a successful eight months of testing, the position was made permanent and I was assigned to create the job posting and assist in the staffing and training of a secondary analyst.   The Real Time Operations Centre analyst is highly tactical, responding to officers live with a variety of requests while triaging the calls for service to seek organization and officer risk in real time.  The position has a strategic component that requires the analyst to ingest criminal information and produce strategic intelligence reports addressing areas of risk including gang intelligence, organized crime, money laundering, terrorism, cyber intelligence, drugs and weapons.    Prior to my service with York Regional Police, I was employed as a Fraud Investigator with several financial institutions while pursuing my honourary bachelor's degree in Criminology from the University of Toronto where I graduated with honours.   Experiences in the financial institutions included investigating skimming files, internal fraud investigations, money laundering investigations and cybercrime.  In addition to these investigative duties, I provided internal training to members of the financial institutions on detecting fraud and created an online forum for recognizing fraud patterns with the intention of providing support for employees to stop fraud at the front end.   I was both nominated and awarded several internal awards at the Royal Bank of Canada and Meridian Credit Union for innovative strategies in combatting crime while championing training and education surrounding fraud mechanisms.  In late 2015 I was invited to assist officials at Seneca College in developing a Bachelor of Criminal Intelligence and Analysis program by reviewing the program map and making recommendations for new courses that would promulgate the course to new levels and provide students with an innovative program designed to reflect current analytical strategies.  Some of the new courses created included Organized Crime in Canada, Gang Intelligence and Social Media Networking and Analysis.  In January 2016 I was then invited to teach Diversity and First Nations to students of the Police Foundations course at Seneca College overseeing approximately 90 students and providing a forum in understanding issues in Diversity (race, gender, sexual orientation) as it is applied in policing as well as exploring First Nation experiences in Canada. I was also the Creator and Co-chair of an Internal Support Network (ISN) at York Regional Police called YRP Pride.   The ISN provides a forum of support for members of the organization an avenue to garner support, feel inclusive, as well as developing external and internal partnerships to champion training and education surrounding issues in LGBTQ policing and Transgendered issues.  In 2016 I founded the organizations first public event hosting members of the community who are transgendered to speak to YRP officers about their experiences and beginning to form open discussions about Transgendered issues.   The ISN is the largest at YRP with over 35 members who oversee attending public events (Pride).  In 2016 the ISN was awarded with an award for “Outstanding Community Service” by PFLAG for maintaining excellent external partnerships with perpetuating positive community member relations. In May of 2020 I was invited by the Ontario Chief Coroner's Office (OCCO) to serve as a crime analyst for Broken Trust - a reinvestigaton of nine sudden deaths in Thunder Bay.  The release for that extraordinary report will be released in 2021 and will serve to invigorate discussions in the policing community.

Today's episode release is with Armand LaBarge from Canada.  We sat down with Chief Amand LaBarge (retired) formerly of the York Regional Police Service, outside of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.   The agency serves a population in excess of 1 million.  We talked about the history of policing the current issues confronting policing in North America, the Insurrection at the U.S. Capitol, leadership, mental health issues, indigenous populations,  and the future of policing.  An interesting, far-ranging interview that we feel you will enjoy.

Two men were arrested for shooting laser pointers at a York Regional Police helicopter, and it was caught on video. Ontario extended emergency orders yet again. The province confirmed less than 300 new COVID-19 cases for the second day in a row, and testing numbers are finally starting to increase.

York Regional Police announced an enormous bust taking down alleged organized crime rings in Southern Ontario’s tow truck industry this week. Police say that for the last three years, rival companies have used violence and intimidation to carve out turf, alleging they caused and staged collisions, worked with auto repair shops and rental companies to carry out fraud, set fires, and even killed in cold blood. Four people are dead and the investigation is ongoing. And police say that's just scratching the surface. CBC senior reporter John Lancaster has been covering this story. Today, we sort through the violent wreckage of the ‘Tow Truck Turf Wars’.
