Except that the article doesn't even imply that was why he was fired -- it merely says that his plans to put more police on buses have been squished since he was fired.

All I can find on the actual reasons he was fired is a nebulous "management style" bit http://www.canada.com/story_print.html?id=93d27fc9-b760-4cae...

I'm still trying to figure out the details of this guy's life and how the above story can possibly be correct. It seems like he was the chief only of the Vancouver transit police, right? So precisely which crime stats are we looking at, when we look at the recidivism rates?




Apparently he was the Superintendent for the Richmond RCMP who was appointed to the transit police in 2008-10: http://www.policeofficerleadership.com/rcmpdreamweaver.html

And I agree that the evidence certainly is not widely available.

edit: And oddly enough when I googled "ward clapham recidivism" your comment was the first result.
