FIREARMS REGISTRY MOTION – August 2004

The Canadian Professional Police Association (CPPA) supports a firearms registry system that provides accurate information on all firearms and is accessible to police officers in a timely manner to improve the safety of all police officers and community members in Canada .

Furthermore, the CPPA encourages the federal government to work with police organizations and other stakeholders throughout Canada to make, create, improve and maintain a cost effective and efficient firearms registry system.

Furthermore, the CPPA recommends that funding be provided to: increase border security to prevent the illegal importation of firearms into Canada ; properly monitor retailers, wholesalers and manufacturers of firearms and ammunition; fund additional front-line police officers across Canada to help stem the tide of firearms violence.

The CPPA also recommends that federal legislation be introduced to ensure tougher and more adequate mandatory prison sentences for individuals involved in firearms related crime.
