"We will not rest until we are sure corrupt, criminal actors and anyone abusing their power as a police officer is held accountable."
"Corruption has no place in policing it is never, and will never, be tolerated."
"It has been the greatest honour of my career to lead the dedicated members of York Regional Police, who put the professionalism, compassion and commitment to public safety into action every day," MacSween said. "I would like to thank the Police Service Board, our members, our partners and our communities for the trust and confidence you have placed in me over the past six years, and for my entire career," he added. "Being privileged to work alongside and lead thousands of exceptional people, I am retiring with immense gratitude and pride."
York Regional Police Chief Jim MacSween will retire officially on June 26 after 37 years in policing and six years as chief. The York Regional Police Service Board announced the retirement. The announcement followed the release of Project South, an investigation into organized crime and criminality involving members of the Toronto Police Service. On Feb. 5, investigators arrested and charged seven Toronto police officers, one retired officer, and 19 additional suspects. Allegations include conspiracy to commit murder, shootings, extortion, robbery and drug trafficking. MacSween stated that corrupt actors and officers who abuse power must be held accountable and that corruption will not be tolerated. He expressed gratitude and pride in leading the service and thanked the Police Service Board, members, partners and communities for their trust.
