Former Director of Ontario’s Special Investigation Unit and author of Issues in Civilian Oversight of Policing in Canada (2014)
Who Guards the Guards? Investigating Police Officers for Serious Misconduct
“Project South – Seven Toronto Officers Charged in Corruption Scandal,” “Officers Charged with Sexual Assault,” “Zameer Aquitted and then Vilified in Death of Police Officer”. Almost everyday, headlines such as these appear in our media feeds, rocking the public’s confidence in policing in Toronto. How systemic are those allegations of corruption and abuse of authority in the county’s largest municipal police service? How should we respond? Scott will discuss the state of police oversight, comment upon its efficacy in the face of these recent revelations, and suggest ways that it could be improved.
