Fleury began his tenure with the Thunder Bay Police Service one year ago and said he will continue to focus on rebuilding trust within the service and community.
THUNDER BAY – Reflecting on his first year as the Thunder Bay Police Service chief, Darcy Fleury said he is pleased with the direction the service is moving in, but he recognizes there is still work to do to rebuild trust both within the service and the community.
Former chief Sylvie Hauth had been suspended after allegations of misconduct arose and she was to face a Police Service Act hearing but retired from the service in January 2023. Fleury noted that throughout the past year he has worked to rebuild trust within the Indigenous community through such initiatives as the Chief’s Forum held last December and the implementation of an Indigenous advisory committee.
“The only thing I can say on that is I will continue to do the approach that I have, which is transparent, open, honest communication,” he said. “I think they are seeing we are really geared to the well-being of the employees and working hard in that area based on some of the structural changes we are making and some of the additions we are making,” Fleury said.
