Am girl; can confirm.

He's not on the phone - she is, and you can just hear his voice in the background. My guess is that she secretly dialed 911 so that someone could hear the conversation she was having with him and hopefully be able to figure out where she was in case she really was in trouble as she was starting to fear.

Was it the daughter and mom with the dogs? I... don't know how you managed to deal with what was going on in that home. :/

I appreciate your response - thank you. I have a lot of respect for Victoria PD officers, and I know that you work with a great amount of patience and compassion, so thank you for what you do.

This is a great answer - but can you expand on your partnership with safe consumption sites and other social supports? As a fellow Victorian, it feels like the bulk of the work in harm reduction and truly saving lives is being done by extremely dedicated people at the Grassroots level (SOLID) and groups whose main mission is based elsewhere (AIDS Vancouver Island). What is being done by law enforcement, or civil/provincial/federal governments to support those efforts?
