Eighty-six per cent of the Toronto Police Association (TPA) members who responded to an online vote say they have no confidence in Chief Mark Saunders. The no confidence vote came amid ongoing clashes with top brass at the Toronto Police Service over what the association describes as critical understaffing. (John Rieti/CBC)Meanwhile, the Toronto Police Services Board, which includes Toronto Mayor John Tory, said Thursday that it "fully and unequivocally" supports Chief Saunders. In a statement, the TPS board says it will continue to work with Saunders to ensure that the Toronto Police Service remains "an organization of excellence." McCormack said almost 48 per cent of members participated in the vote, noting it's not a great day in policing when members take an action such as a no confidence vote in their leader.
