London police Chief John Pare pulled no punches about a massive, booze-fueled weekend block party held in the shadow of Western University that drew a record crowd of 20,000 young people.

Western, he said, needs to do more to control unruly student behaviour, insisting police can’t deal with the fallout alone.

“We cannot rely on a police-centric approach, nor can we rely heavily on enforcement as the mechanism to control behaviour,” Pare said at a Tuesday news conference as authorities detailed the enforcement fallout of Saturday’s mayhem on Broughdale Avenue.

There, students held a fake homecoming, known as FoCo, for the third straight year, to counter Western’s decision to move its homecoming weekend to later in the fall to discourage student rowdyism.

The Free Press asked Western what steps it will take to deal with the troubles that flared Saturday, which police say included 50 people treated at hospital, but the school hadn’t immediately replied following Pare’s 4 p.m. news conference.
