Chief Darcy Fleury of the Thunder Bay Police Service attends a luncheon hosted by the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce to discuss his plans for the service moving forward.
as chief of the Thunder Bay Police Service, Darcy Fleury has set three key priorities for his team: restructuring the organization, improving community engagement, and enforcement.
Originally, it was suggested this position be dedicated as an Indigenous affairs deputy, but the service decided to delegate that portfolio to Fleury. "Perception is reality when you're looking at attracting, whether that's employees from elsewhere, whether that's businesses from elsewhere, whether that's even students to come to the university and the college," said Robinson. "Anything that we can do to reverse the negative publicity that we've received over previous years is a positive thing."
Members of the Thunder Bay Chamber of Commerce listen to Thunder Bay police chief Darcy Fleury provide an update during a luncheon about his plans for the police service. "Everybody's working hard to try to find those avenues," Fleury said. "We're going to continue to put those proposals forward and some business cases, and I think we have really strong support here."
Social service agencies also play a key role, especially with prevention. While Fleury said defunding the police is "a horrible idea," he did indicate more funding is needed for the workers who are helping the city's most vulnerable.Indigenous people detail violent encounters with Thunder Bay police in human rights complaints
