Thunder Bay Police Service and its board say they are cooperating with the Inspectorate of Policing.
THUNDER BAY – Two weeks after the province's Inspector General of Policing announced that he was launching a probe into the Thunder Bay Police Service , officials have now commented publicly on the inspection.
“But I know the investigations that they're talking about and they were, in my opinion, well done, and we will go through another investigation,” said Hughes. The inspection was announced on Oct. 10. in response to complaints made by families unhappy with the TBPS investigations into the deaths of their loved ones.
“That's part of what we're trying to do. We're getting to work on those recommendations to help that. We want to ensure that there's effective policing for everybody in the community, especially our Indigenous community,” said Machado.
