Durham regional police's 'poisoned' workplace highlighted in Ontario Civilian Police Commission report | CBC News
"a poisoned work environment was created at the DRPS,"
"workplace harassment investigations, though guided by sound policies, were marred by bias and shoddy record-keeping."
""These were multiple people within the organization that literally had their lives ruined by certain individuals [who] weren't held accountable, Brauti told CBC News. I'm sure that they're sitting there thinking, Why did I bother coming forward at all?""
""favouritism, cronyism, reprisals and criminal activity at the highest levels""
Investigators substantiated that a poisoned work environment was created at the Durham Regional Police Service. Officials failed to adequately address harassment and management aggressively opposed officers seeking mental-health support. Workplace harassment investigations, though guided by sound policies, were marred by bias and shoddy record-keeping. In November 2018, a lawyer wrote to the deputy minister alleging favouritism, cronyism, reprisals and criminal activity at the highest levels of the service. The Ontario Civilian Police Commission launched an investigation in May 2019, interviewed about 80 witnesses, and completed a report in July. The report remained secret and the commission dissolved under new provincial policing legislation. The board says it has taken steps to address concerns.
