Progressive Conservative Leader Hugh McFadyen rolled out his tough-on-crime platform today promising to attack gangs, train more police dogs and hire more prosecutors to go after fraudsters.

McFadyen also pledged to reinstate a gang database he said was cancelled under the NDP.

At a playground in the riding of Assiniboine, the Tory leader said he will roll out more of his law and order platform over the week.

However, he promised crack down on gangs and guns by making funding for already-existing 30 officers permanent and supporting the hiring of 15 new officers for a special firearms enforcement unit.

It also includes setting up a centre of excellence in the province for police K-9 enforcement to train more police dogs and using social media to hunt down the most wanted criminals.
