L’objectif
Few studies document the empirical nuances of these contextually dependant police-PWUD relationships, and how PWUD’ experiences and perceptions of policing near harm reduction services shape SCS access.
Constatations/points à retenir
Participants in Calgary reported concentrated police presence in and near SCS, in addition to harassment, negative encounters, fears about getting arrested, and experiences of being displaced from the area. Participants in Edmonton, despite also reporting heavy police presence near SCS, reported feeling relatively safe from police intervention and harassment, within SCS and the surrounding area.
