Toronto’s police chief has asked the Ontario Provincial Police to conduct an independent review after a Superior Court judge’s comments during the trial of Umar Zameer.
A statement from the Office of the Chief says Myron Demkiw on Monday asked for a review into officer testimony, conduct, procedures, practices and training, which he said police governance “requires” when the courts raise concerns over police conduct. Demkiw has also ordered a full internal review of all aspects of plainclothes policing, including equipment and procedures for officer and public safety.
