The second deputy chief, as recommended by former senator Murray Sinclair’s report into the Thunder Bay Police Services Board, will focus primarily on administrative and human resource tasks
THUNDER BAY -- The Thunder Bay Police Service is currently seeking applicants for a second deputy chief of police, which was one of the recommendations handed down in former senator Murray Sinclair’s report.
“The chief determined he felt that function, Indigenous community and relationship building, would be best in his role as the chief. That was supported by the board because if commitment and direction starts at the top you have a more successful role.” During the Thunder Bay Police Services Board meeting on Tuesday, the board heard the police service had an unfavourable variance of $2.8 million for the 2023 operating budget.
Fleury said he is looking into ways to lower personnel expenses going forward, including the current number of employees who are off on WSIB and seeing what can be done to get them back to work. “We are in the process right now for a second deputy. We are seeking candidates. That will have a bit of an impact. We do have some other areas we still want to work towards on our structure, such as looking at more people to support our financial department and human resources department.”
