Ontario’s inspector general of policing confirms province-wide inspection into police corruption
The review will assess police systems across Ontario to prevent corruption after 27 arrests, including eight Toronto officers, amid allegations of bribery and conspiracy, officials said.
- This past week, the Toronto Police Service suspended two more of its members, a spokesperson said, without sharing whether the suspensions are with or without pay.
- Project South investigators allege a range of violent and corruption-related offences, with York Regional Police announcing charges on Feb. 5 against 27 people, including seven Toronto police officers and one retired officer.
- The fallout has grown: the tally of suspended members now totals 10, including Const. John Madeley Jr. and his retired Toronto constable father, while the service seeks to suspend four of the seven charged officers without pay.
- Ontario's inspector general announced a provincewide review, with Ryan Teschner saying `Although this issue originated with the Toronto Police Service, we have since learned that other organizations may be impacted`, while Shelley Carroll and Demkiw requested an external investigation last week.
- Clayton Campbell, president of the Toronto Police Association , said the TPA is aware of the two suspended members and represents over 8,700 members; Peel police has suspended three officers, with no charges filed.
