NEW PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT BEHIND POLICE INVESTIGATION?



They say a new broom sweeps clean. Well it's about time. Maybe it's not totally about our new provincial government. Maybe Kelly Donovan's book has something to do with the Ontario Civilian Police Commission's (OCPC) appointment of an administrator to oversee the Durham Regional Police while the primary investigation is underway. A preliminary probe of the Durham police and its board by the OCPC did find "potential criminal activity and a crisis in confidence among its leadership." Wow, that is stunning!

Today's Waterloo Region Record has published the following article titled "Watchdog launches investigation into Durham Regional Police leadership." The fact that both the chief and deputy chief along with the entire civilian police board are being investigated, speaks volumes. Kelly Donovan had indicated to the Waterloo Regional Police back in September 2017 that Justice Tulloch had recommended much better training for civilian police boards so that they might better understand their duties, obligations and responsibilities. It is my hope that the OCPC might decide after taking care of the Durham police to look into our very own Waterloo Regional Police. I personally along with other informed citizens have certainly lost confidence in their leadership.

  1. Since posting my above comments I have learned that just last month there was an article published in the Toronto Star regarding a Durham Region police officer involved in a marijuana dispensary. Possibly the alleged criminal activity relates to a failure to obtain a license for this venture and the further investigation of the chief, deputy chief and police board relates to their failure to properly investigate their own officer's request for permission to own/operate? his marijuana dispensary.
