Board – Independent Civilian Review of G20 policing
"The Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) is the civilian oversight body for the Toronto Police Service. On July 6, the Board accepted a proposal by the Chair of the TPSB to establish an Independent Civilian Review of G20-related policing. The Board called for the Independent Civilian Review to “identify and study issues raised by the public and Board members regarding oversight, governance, accountability, transparency and the communications and supervision issues arising” from G20-related policing. The Independent Civilian Review will not, however, deal with individual complaints of specific police misconduct as this is the purview of the Office of the Independent Police Review Director.
"The TPSB is currently drafting the Terms of Reference for the Independent Civilian Review and nominating a person to fill that role. The TPSB is accepting written submissions from the public on what the scope and role of the review should be. Please consider writing to the TPSB to tell them them the kind of matters you think the Independent Civilian Review should investigate. The TPSB will release the draft Terms of Reference in the week of July 19. There will then be a public meeting on July 22, where members of the public can express their opinions on the draft terms, following which the TPSB will vote on whether to accept them.
