Alex and Chief Jim MacSween Talk About Complying During Home Invasions

Alex speaks with York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween following public backlash over his recent comments urging residents to comply with armed intruders during home invasions.

The statement comes in the wake of a horrific case in Vaughan where a father was shot and killed in front of his children. Chief MacSween stands by his comments—but is this advice a necessary safety precaution, or an alarming sign of lost control?

In this segment, Alex and the Chief discuss:

• The reasoning behind the controversial advice;

• Rising violent crime in York Region, including home invasions and carjackings;

• How police are responding—and what residents can realistically do to protect themselves.

A direct and urgent conversation about public safety, policing challenges, and the trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve.
