In BC, we do not even have the implementation taking place in a consistent manner. I think it can be made more consistent if the system is made more accountable. There has been extensive training, and millions of dollars spent on that training. There has to be is a system of accountability in place, and that accountability has to come from outside the police forces. I recommend a civilian oversight body, and a very tight level of accountability.
Mandatory arrest needs to be monitored more closely.
We need to do more education of police officers. Police need to know there are serious employment consequences to not implementing arrest procedures. This would change the status of the directive of what officers ought to do. There also needs to be better tracking of arrests. There are problems of police misclassifying or not reporting incidents, or not being identified as assaults.
