At the February 22, 2018 meeting of the Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) I took some initial steps by introducing a motion to have the results of the Toronto Police Service internal review of these matters, initiated by Chief Saunders, made public as soon as possible. This motion was supported by the Chief and approved by the TPSB. Chief Saunders has been working with provincial officials to explore the possibility of the Government of Ontario holding a public inquiry into the McArthur case, which I support. Legal counsel and others will have to determine the timing of such a public inquiry relative to a paramount requirement not to jeopardize ongoing investigations and/or subsequent judicial proceedings. …/2 - 2 - But since the February 2018 meeting, the list of unanswered questions has grown. I strongly believe that there is work we can and should begin now in the cause of an open and transparent review. This is why I called for an independent external review into systemic concerns of missing persons investigations and indicated I would be moving a motion to that effect at the Board's upcoming meeting on March 22, 2018. Chief Saunders is actively supportive of this proposal. Accordingly, the motion is as follows: 1. That the TPSB Chair report to the April 2018 meeting on the composition of a working group mandated to advise the TPSB with respect to structural and process options for an independent external review or reviews. The working group should consist of not more than 4 members including a member of the TPSB as well as 3 external members. In order to identify the three external members, the Chair will consult the community including: organizations which work with sex workers, harm reduction and homeless populations, and groups representing Indigenous people and LGBTQ communities, including the Alliance for South Asian AIDS Prevention. 2. That the working group report to the TPSB at its May 2018 public meeting. Its report should include: a. Identifying the best possible form of such an external review or reviews, including one commissioned by the Board, for example, and/or one conducted by a third party, such as the Ontario Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD). b. Discussion with respect to the possible terms of references, including: i. Toronto Police Services practices and actions related to past missing persons investigations, subject to any legal restrictions; ii. TPSB policies, TPS procedures, protocols, training and organizational structures related to missing persons investigations, which will not include any information or discussion of the McArthur investigation and possible trial proceedings; iii. Any systemic concerns, especially those which related to bias against people based on protected grounds outlined in the Ontario Human Rights Code; and iv. National and international best practices into missing persons investigations. c. Anticipated costs of such a review and timelines associated therewith. The safety of all Toronto residents is my primary responsibility, and I believe that building up and maintaining the trust of all of our communities is paramount to the success of the Toronto Police Service overall and the people who serve us. …/3 - 3 - Many of these steps have been recommended by representatives of the LGBTQ communities and I thank them for their leadership, strength, collaboration, understanding and wise counsel during the difficult times experienced to date. Sincerely, John Tory Mayor of Toronto Toronto Police Services Board Report January 16, 2018 To: Chair and Members Toronto Police Services Board From: Mark Saunders Chief of Police Subject: Organizational Chart Recommendation(s): It is recommended that that the Toronto Police Services Board (Board) approve the new organizational chart for the Toronto Police Service (Service).
