BURLINGTON, ON

The Ontario New Democrats released a statement following the announcement of a province-wide inspection into corruption and integrity in policing by Ontario’s Inspector General of Policing:

“We are encouraged that an inspection into Ontario’s police processes will take place, after this deeply disturbing incident.

“Trust in our province’s law enforcement institutions must be carefully maintained through transparency and unobstructed public oversight; particularly in Toronto, which should demand much of this inspection’s focus. No stone should be left unturned to ensure that Ontarians feel safe in their communities, and to restore accountability and public trust.”

The police haven’t shared much about the ongoing investigations. Is there nothing we can know?
