BURLINGTON, ON
The “Fugitive Friday” initiative is in its 16th week – the Halton Regional Police Service love it.
It is run by the Burlington Offender Management Unit which releases a new name each Friday and then uses social media to get the word out: Twitter @HRPSBurl and @HaltonPolice.
The program has worked so well that people who know they are wanted are now calling the police and coming in on their own
