Though the force did not explicitly link the events, the decision comes in the wake of an impaired driving crash involving Supt. Riyaz Hussein, who was once in charge of internal discipline.
A memo went out to all civilian and uniformed senior officers recently that police chief Myron Demkiw’s office has decided to not renew the licence for the bar, which did not serve the rank and file but senior officers could access as a perk. A TPS spokesperson confirmed the move.
“This is a bit crazy,” he said. “It’s very, very, very unusual to find a government agency having a bar in a government building.”, who was once in charge of internal discipline.In April, a tribunal adjudicator found Hussein was driving a 2021 Ford Edge registered to the TPS on Highway 401 through Pickering. As he approached Liverpool Road, he crashed into another car going in the same direction.
Hussein pleaded guilty in Oshawa court to driving over the legal limit, received a 12 month driving prohibition, a fine of $1200 and a victim surcharge of $360. “If a senior officer has been drinking there and is picked up for drunk driving, someone’s missed the duty of care on that one,” he said.
