Bernard Weil / Toronto Star ) Order this photoOntario’s Information and Privacy Commissioner has dropped the case against Toronto police over their practice of letting U.S. border cops access sensitive information about suicide attempts. Toronto police used to automatically share information about interactions with individuals in an RCMP-run national database called the Canadian Police Information Centre. Under new protocols, U.S. police would not be able to access her records. In August 2015, following the commissioner’s announcement of legal action, Toronto police developed a new CPIC function that blocked U.S border police from seeing certain information. U.S border police have access to CPIC, and through it, could see information on attempted suicides.
