Peel Regional Police Chief Jennifer Evans will get two more years on the job. The Peel Regional Police Services Board approved a two year contract extension that had been previously requested by Evans. "This was a decision of the Board, and we look forward to working with Chief Evans for the next 2 years as we continue to modernize policing in Peel," board chair Amrik Singh Ahluwalia said in a statement. Evans has faced opposition in recent years, including calls to resign over her handling of the controversial issue of police carding. The chief denies any wrongdoing and has filed a statement of defence saying so.
