Sandy Smallwood resigned in disgust just hours before Mayor Jim Watson’s coup seizing control of the Ottawa Police Services Board, stuffing it with his tame councillors. One of Canada’s most respected police oversight veterans and vice chair of the board, Smallwood said, “The police governance model is set up for failure. And I think what this incident has done is brought it to the surface.”
The boards are governance eunuchs who would be a laughing stock in the corporate world. The Wynne government had legislated a less ridiculous model of governance. The Ford government threw it out. One cannot look at provincial or federal police governance models for guidance — if anything, they are worse.
In one fell swoop, Watson replaced a progressive board with one committed to increasing police budgets and pushing back on diversity, community policing and anti-abuse agendas. He claimed he acted as a result of the board’s decision to bring in a team of the best police leaders in Canada to get through the crisis. The need for more competent hands in the Ottawa Police Service senior leadership was hardly deniable. Watson’s claim is, however, not true.
