Newly appointed administrator will serve for six months and have the sole vote on all of the five-person body’s decisions until he is satisfied it can perform its duties

The board also requested last year that the OCPC investigate allegations against Ms. Hauth, her lawyer Holly Walbourne, and Deputy Chief Ryan Hughes, whom the board suspended in January for what it called an internal human resources matter. The Ontario Provincial Police are actively investigating senior members of the service, but haven’t publicly identified the targets of the probe.

“I am of the opinion that an emergency exists in the TB Board oversight of the TB Police Service,” adds the order, which is signed by OCPC chair Sean Weir. Ms. Oliver said the OCPC’s findings are one-sided. The commission, she added, “at no time talked to any of the board members and they didn’t request any meeting minutes or agendas or even the updated chart that we have with regard to where we’re at with the recommendations.”

A 2018 report by the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, released days before the Sinclair report, found that systemic racism exists within the service at an institutional level. The report recommended reinvestigations of nine deaths of Indigenous people because of problematic police work. Those reinvestigations were completed by independent investigators.
