ACCESS DENIED TO FIP FILES IN ONTARIO MURDER-SUICIDE CASE
ONTARIO SOLICITOR GENERAL DENIES ACCESS TO FIREARMS INTEREST POLICE (FIP) FILES IN MURDER-SUICIDE CASE
Complaint to Ontario Information Commissioner by Dennis R. Young – September 2, 2019
EXCERPT: The records I have requested from the Solicitor General and the Ontario Provincial Police will help the Domestic Violence Death Review Committee in the conduct of their review of the Mark Jones murder-suicide and answer questions as to why he was able to retain possession of his firearms after serious reports had been filed with police. It’s clear from information being made available to Parliament and the public that the RCMP and the Ontario Chief Firearms Office do not collect enough information on an ongoing basis nor have they done a sufficient evaluation of the effectiveness of the two ‘Red Flag’ systems aimed exclusively at licensed gun owners implemented by the Firearms Act passed by the Federal Parliament in 1995, namely; the Firearms Interest Police (FIP) Database and the Canadian Firearms Registry Online (CFRO).

O.P.P. REQUEST $240 FEE FOR ‘CRIME GUN’ STATISTICS
FOIP Fee Waiver Request: SOLGEN-A-2019-02470 – O.P.P Crime Gun Statistics 2008-2018 by Dennis R. Young – Aug 24, 2019. EXCERPT: “The RCMP, Public Safety Canada and Statistics Canada does not collect the data on crime guns I requested so the public has no where else to turn except to local and provincial police services for this important statistical information. The federal government no longer charges search and processing fees but that hardly matters if they don’t collect the statistics the Ontario public needs regarding the sources of crime guns to make better decisions about how best to combat the criminal use of firearms and protect both public and police safety.”
