Ottawa Police draw on ‘Freedom Convoy’ lessons learned to manage ‘Rolling Thunder’

The chair of the Ottawa Police Services Board believes the service has all of the resources it needs to make sure a planned motorcycle rally in Ottawa this weekend won't play out like February's 'Freedom Convoy' occupation of downtown.
Speaking on CityNews' The Rob Snow Show on April 26, West Carleton-March Councillor Eli El-Chantiry said he was satisfied with the enforcement plan detailed by interim police chief Steve Bell at Monday's board meeting.
“We always learn a little bit more from every event,” El-Chantiry said. “Our staff…our executive command of the Ottawa Police are very well prepared, I would say.”
El-Chantiry added that more information will be shared on the enforcement plan for the 'Rolling Thunder' demonstration in coming days.
