These findings should not deflect or paint a negative picture of our forces as a whole, as we have an incredible team, passionate about their work and our community.”, Fisher said that it had been a trying year.
“Our force has been through a lot already this year, and although these findings are troublesome, we are determined to learn from this and grow as an organization,” he said.
