City Police Chief Bill Reid is issuing a challenge to Maclean’s magazine to do a follow up story on the city’s Family Protection Unit. Earlier this month, the magazine named Saint John the most dangerous city in Canada with respect to sexual assaults. Reid says that is not the case and the numbers show the amount of sexual assaults reported.
Reid says his office sent the request Wednesday and expects a response, but isn’t sure if the story will be done. Reid says no one is hiding behind bushes in the city, and this is a story that needs to be told.
