You know you're maybe in British Columbia. That's the level that we're seeing in the drug trade and where you know the pen's mightier than the sword is simple policy change and there's no revenue stream anymore for that.
Ever wondered what it's like to be on the front lines of the war on drugs and gangs? In this gripping episode of Hard Knox Talks, Constable Matt Ingrouille opens up about his eye-opening experiences within the Saskatoon City Police Service. From undercover drug busts to confronting organized crime, Matt has seen it all—and he's ready to share his unfiltered thoughts on harm reduction and the urgent need for policy reform.
As a husband and father of four, Matt knows firsthand the fears that haunt families when addiction takes hold. He's witnessed the harsh realities that many would rather ignore, and he's here to challenge that indifference. Why are our most vulnerable citizens being denied basic support? How can we turn a blind eye to the epidemic of addiction ravaging our communities? In this candid conversation, Matt doesn't just recount his law enforcement exploits.
He dives deep into the economic factors driving the drug trade and explores the disease model of addiction. He highlights the importance of providing resources and support for families affected by trauma, emphasizing that real change starts with understanding and compassion. Matt also sheds light on the crucial role of frontline perspectives in shaping effective policies.
He argues that police officers need to address social issues head-on and that fostering relationships with informants can be a game-changer in breaking the cycle of crime and addiction. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why Matt believes that 'the pen is mightier than the sword'. Tune in to hear a cop's passionate plea for policy change and gain a deeper understanding of the complex world of guns, gangs, and drugs in Saskatoon.
