A high-ranking Toronto police officer has been charged with professional misconduct under Ontario’s Police Services Act — the second city police superintendent to be facing serious allegations of wrongdoing in a week.
Supt. Stacy Clarke is charged with seven counts of misconduct, according to a Toronto police document released Friday, which shows upcoming appearances at the force’s disciplinary tribunal.
The charges come less than two weeks after Toronto police launched an investigation into “impropriety” in its recent promotional process, including allegations that a senior officer provided a select number of candidates for the rank of sergeant the answers to an all-important exam, sources told the Star.
A 24 year veteran she only got the promotion a year ago.
This is the Police Superintendent who would normally have overseen her disciplinary hearing, except he got charged with DUI last week.
