Ontario’s inspector general of policing has announced an independent inspection into police corruption within the province, just days after seven Toronto officers and one former member were charged as part of an organized crime investigation.
Ontario Inspector General of Policing Ryan Teschner announced on Feb. 9 a province-wide inspection would be launched to examine police integrity and anti‑corruption practices across all 43 municipal police forces along with the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) and the Anishinabek Police Service (APS).
