Résumé
On November 19, 2012, the Honourable Wally Oppal, Commissioner of the Missing
Women Commission of Inquiry, released his 1,448-page report “Forsaken,” which
identified 63 recommendations for the protection of vulnerable women. He outlined how
“blatant failures” and “public indifference” contributed to the tragic deaths of marginalized
women over a protracted period of time.
VicPD’s senior management has reviewed the Oppal Report and has conducted its own
assessment of VicPD’s policies and practices associated with the issues raised in the
report.
