Supt. Stacy Clarke was desperately trying to level the playing field in an organization where question-sharing was an “open secret,” with connected officers getting a leg up from the largely white senior staff, said her lawyer, Joseph Markson, adding that it also came in the wake of the sudden cancellation of a plan to make the system more fair.
“This is so pernicious. It has the effect of a superintendent propagating in six new sergeants the belief that this behaviour is acceptable. Who in turn become part of the leadership of this organization and the cancer grows,” Hutchison said. Markson said the “realpolitik” in the TPS would mean a permanent demotion to inspector, which he said would be a harsher punishment than the recent case of a superintendent who was reinstated to his rank a year after crashing his car after drinking at the Toronto Police Headquarters.
There has been no concrete evidence presented at the hearing that demonstrate other officers have been sharing exam questions.“You’re not going to have anyone standing there in that forum or speaking to the media and saying so,” he said, pointing to Clarke’s actions as leaving a digital trail that has been easy for investigators to find.
