Earlier today at a special Board meeting the Board approved a recommendation to establish an Independent Civilian Review.
This is an Independent Civilian Review. It is not a public inquiry nor is it being conducted under The Public Inquiries Act. The Terms of Reference will be developed by the Reviewer in consultation with the Board.
Once the Terms of Reference are in place, we expect that this comprehensive review will identify issues and concerns raised by the public and Board members, regarding oversight, governance, accountability, transparency and the communications and supervision issues arising from a multi-jurisdictional model of policing in the context of the governance role and policies of the Board
When the Independent Civilian Review is complete, the Reviewer will submit a report to the Board with recommendations related to policy, structural and systemic issues for consideration and any action, as deemed necessary.
I look forward to keeping you informed as the Independent Civilian Review progresses.
