Summary

"I was asked to consult interested Ontarians and use my best judgment in formulating my recommendations regarding the police complaints system. That took me across Ontario and allowed me to meet with hundreds of people. When I undertook this review, I stated publicly that I did not have an expectation that I would make most people happy. I knew it would be difficult to recommend a system that would be workable not only for places like Kenora, Kincardine and Stirling, but also for cities like Thunder Bay, Ottawa, Toronto and Windsor. My goal was to provide the best opportunity I could for Ontarians to become engaged in a debate on a very significant aspect of police accountability so that I am allowed to prepare informed recommendations to improve the system Province-wide. I hope that those who are reviewing this report are able to agree that my efforts have allowed me to achieve at least this modest objective."--Page 86.
