"The municipality will file an freedom of information request to obtain an unredacted copy of a Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) report on the investigation, revoke invitations to current and former Durham Regional Police Service members to attend regional events and bar them from being honoured if they were found to have "committed wrongdoing" in the report, according to a motion passed on Wednesday by regional council."
"The OCPC investigation was released to CBC News through a FOI request last fall, in the form of a heavily redacted report. Those redactions included some of its recommendations and the names of DRPS employees. That same copy has since been made available by Ontario's inspector general of policing. Henry said the report has resulted in a loss of public trust with the DRPS."
Durham Region councillors will file a freedom of information request to obtain an unredacted OCPC report and plan to revoke invitations and honours for current and former Durham Regional Police Service members named in the investigation. The regional motion asks the police services board to strip ceremonial honours and titles from individuals found to have committed wrongdoing and requests regular updates on completing 33 recommendations. The OCPC report was initially released in a heavily redacted form, including redactions of recommendations and employee names, and those redactions have contributed to a loss of public trust in the DRPS.
