Ottawa police have released an internal report detailing the depth of mistrust some people feel about the force. The report was done by the Ottawa police outreach liaison team, a temporary unit led by Insp. The report was completed in May 2017 and a two-page summary was presented at an Ottawa Police Services Board meeting that month. Fear and mistrustThe 142-page report says it contains "two overarching and recurring themes" — a fear and mistrust of police, and concerns about leadership, accountability and transparency. 'ZERO confidence with Ottawa police'The consultations also revealed a lack of confidence in police, to the point that "some black communities don't 'tell' or 'snitch' on others," the report says.
