Myles Gray death shows police need regional training centres on use of force: expert

At a public hearing, former officer Michael Massine recommended regional training centres to align policing practices, urging a common approach .
Police records show the initial call involved a garden hose complaint, and Massine told the hearing officers missed opportunities to de-escalate, showing a lack of awareness about the fatal impact of their actions.
At the coroner's inquest, police described Myles Gray as 'animalistic' with 'superhuman' strength, while medical evidence shows he suffered catastrophic injuries including a fractured eye socket, crushed voice box, and ruptured testicles.
Although cleared in 2024, none of the seven officers under examination has testified at the ongoing public inquiry, according to police discipline authority records.
Massine conceded regional training centres would be an 'expensive venture' but said they could help avoid training silos and align use‑of‑force and de‑escalation practices across departments.
