Toronto Police Services Board launches public survey on hiring new police chief

 

The Toronto Police Services Board (the “Board”) today posted its public survey on hiring the new Toronto Police Chief on its website (www.tpsb.ca).

“We are really looking forward to members of the public making their voices heard on such an important undertaking”, said Board Chair Alok Mukherjee. “The survey results will contribute to the development of a competency model that the Board will use in assessing candidates for the job”.

The Board is also conducting a series of consultations, including four with the general public and one specifically with youth. The public sessions will be held at:
