“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.
