The Ontario government has called for an investigation into complaints of alleged misconduct by senior members of Durham Regional Police Service. The minister of community safety and correctional services recently referred the allegations to the Ontario Civilian Police Commission, which has started a preliminary review. The Star has learned that multiple Durham police employees, both current and former, filed complaints to the ministry concerning the conduct of police brass. The minister also asked the commission to probe “concerns about governance by the Durham Regional Police Services Board,” the spokesperson said. The commission notified the board of its review in a letter dated Feb. 13.
