Statement from Schizophrenia Society of Canada

“We are finally seeing some sense of justice for Mr. Faqiri and his family. His death was due to inappropriate use of deadly force rather than the correctional officers utilizing de-escalation techniques to help Mr. Faqiri in his crisis. The Schizophrenia Society of Canada has long advocated for evidenced-based scenario de-escalation training for correctional officers and police officers.” Chris Summerville, CEO of the Schizophrenia Society of Canada.
