A promise of full cooperation with any and all investigations by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC).

That from Thunder Bay Police Services Board (TBPSB) Chair Kristen Oliver in response to confirmation that the Office of the Solicitor General has requested the investigation by the OCPC of the Chief, Deputy Chief, as well as the administration of Thunder Bay Police Service.

“The Board welcomes the Ontario Civilian Police Commission’s (OCPC) involvement, as we have forwarded them several matters for investigation and action — some more than a year ago,” Oliver said in a prepared statement.” On Monday, January 24 Mayor Bill Mauro spoke directly with the Solicitor General, Sylvia Jones and expressed the need for a response by the OCPC.”

The move is allowed under the Police Services Act.
