The Toronto Police Association extends its appreciation and support to the Inspector General of Policing for his thorough and timely review of public order policing in Ontario.

The Toronto Police Association extends its appreciation and support to the Inspector General of Policing for his thorough and timely review of public order policing in Ontario.

“Our members make up one of the most competent and skilled Public Order Units in the country and, as their presence has grown over the years, we appreciate the recognition of their efforts,” said President Clayton Campbell. “We also support the recommendations put forward by the IG’s review because improved governance, collaboration, and training will only further professionalize the work our members do in this area.

We were not surprised to see the findings highlight the need for sustainable funding in this area. We have seen the impact at the local level when the Service fails to adequately budget for the demand special events place on our limited resources. As a result, Chief Demkiw has made short-sighted decisions and ignored the advice from us and his own experts. It is our hope that the Chief reads the IG’s report and notes the need for action in the areas of reliable funding and member wellness for public order units.

Finally, it can’t go without saying, these recommendations will only succeed if they are met with a commitment from the Chief and his Command Team. Our members can always use more resources but what is urgently needed is clear, concise direction and support for actions taken during and after a public order detail.”

The Toronto Police Association represents more than 8,500 police and civilian members of the Toronto Police Service. We are a professional organization dedicated to advancing the interests of our members through education, political action, and legislative advocacy. We operate in an open, ethical, and professional manner and strive to promote professionalism and accountability within the ranks of our members. Our foremost priority is the wellbeing of our members and the community we serve.

“To think that someone who has shown such utter contempt for policing and civil society could be walking free, should be concerning to every Canadian,” Campbell continued. “The time to deport this criminal was before he executed one police officer and attempted to murder another. The only acceptable place for him now is a prison cell.”
