Earlier this week, Toronto Police Service Chief Mark Saunders made the surprise announcement that he would resign on July 31, eight months before his contract was to expire. He applied for the Toronto chief position in 2015 but lost out to Saunders. "I applied for and accepted the role of the Ottawa Police Service Chief. I made a commitment to this City of Ottawa, the Board and the OPS members and I will fulfil that commitment," Sloly said on Twitter. "I am pleased that Chief Sloly has restated his strong commitment to the Ottawa Police Service, to our City and our residents," Watson tweeted.
