Ottawa police board hired new chief without competition: sources via ctvottawa
The chair of Ottawa police services board hired a new police chief without going through a competition, sources told CTV News Ottawa.
Four of the Ottawa police services board's seven members are appointed by city council. Council can vote to remove them. On Wednesday morning, Deans told CTV Morning Live that the board was working to find Sloly's replacement. "I feel the public has lost confidence in the actions of the police services board and the ability to lead," Moffatt said when asked why he tabled the motion.
Suzanne Valiquet would replace Smallwood as the council appointee to the Ottawa Police Services Board.
