BREAKING: Less than a week before Toronto police Supt. Ron Taverner is set to be sworn in as OPP Commissioner, Interim Commissioner Brad Blair
has filed a formal request to the Ontario Ombudsman’s Office relating to the process of Taverner's appointment #onpoli
The interim commissioner says he is "seeking a review of potential political interference in the OPP Commissioner appointment."
Included in Blair's letter to the @Ont_Ombudsman: "OPP members have shared with me their concerns that the process was unfair and their feeling that the independence of the OPP is now called into question."
Blair lawyer, Julian Falconer, just now: "I know of no precedent to describe the current circumstance." Falconer said he was approached recently - last week - "amidst a growing sea of controversy."
Falconer: Blair's decision to come forward with this complaint will mean he will be "under no minor light of scrutiny."
Acting OPP Commissioner Brad Blair was compelled to raise the alarm about Supt. Ron Taverner's appointment as OPP top cop “by a belief that the (OPP) is an organization whose credibility is worth protecting.” Our story for tonight: thestar.com/news/gta/2018/…
