## Resource

Justice John Sackar is firing back at police claims that homicide investigations are being stalled to pressure his inquiry into historical gay-hate crimes, calling them offensive and unfounded. He insists police are misjudging their own resource needs, while police lawyers argue 11 officers—including senior staff—are already stretched thin complying with the inquiry’s demands. The commission, set to hear from top officials like former Assistant Commissioner Tony Crandell, remains undeterred, pushing forward with its focus on violence against gay men despite police concerns over funding and public disclosure.
