Ontario's policing inspector announces a comprehensive review of police practices across the province to address corruption concerns. The announcement comes in the wake of a major corruption scandal involving Toronto police officers, leading to the arrest of seven active-duty and one retired officer. The review will be conducted by an independent external investigator, appointed by the inspector general, to ensure transparency and public trust. The investigation will cover critical areas such as officer supervision, recruitment and ongoing vetting, database access, evidence management, and substance abuse, aiming to identify and rectify any systemic issues within the police force. The findings will be made public, with the inspector general committed to swift and thorough action to restore public confidence in law enforcement.
