Violent incidents at two Winnipeg eateries have a Manitoba restaurant association calling for action, in the form of a program that would increase police presence in dining rooms and see officers remove violent offenders. The Manitoba Restaurant and Foodservices Association wants police to take a more active role in the city's restaurants after a robbery in January and a double homicide earlier this week. The association wants a model similar to one already in place in Surrey, B.C., which allows RCMP under the B.C. (Meaghan Ketcheson/CBC)Jeffrey said the association wants to see a proactive approach to policing restaurants in the city. "They're not trained to handle these situations and nor should they be — they're restaurant owners."
