Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for each and every signature. Thank you for helping us affect change. Right now, if you walk into a police station anywhere in Canada, police are not required to take an adult missing persons report. If your car is stolen, the police will not only take a report, they will also look for it. Our family is not asking for a manhunt every time an adult goes missing. We are asking that police take all missing persons reports seriously. We are asking for a law to be passed that requires all missing persons reports to be recorded, entered into CPIC, as well as the RCMP national database of missing persons. Right now, there is a disconnect in the local, provicial and national databases. This doesn’t just matter to the loved ones of the missing. It should matter to every Canadian. Right now, police don’t have the data they need to track and to stop a serial killer. We are repeatedly told that police lack the resources to track missing persons. Not true. The financial and emotional toll of a serial killer such as Bruce McArthur is immeasurable. The amount of backtracking police need to do is infinitely more costly than recording the missing persons reports in the first place. Thank you for helping us bring awareness to our cause. Change is possible and it starts with a handful of voices who refuse to stay quiet about things that matter.
