Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow and the union representing the city’s police officers have repaired their rift, both sides say, in an effort to set the tone for the term.
“I think this is an opportunity now to start fresh,” Toronto Police Association President Jon Reid told CTV News Toronto after meeting with Chow.
The most recent dispute began a few weeks ago when the association publicly blasted Chow for failing to directly reach out to officers involved in a series of incidents that resulted in police injuries and the death of a police dog.“We were a little concerned when we didn’t hear anything,” Reid said. “That was what kind of what precipitated us raising the flag,” Reid said.
“We talked about making sure that the frontline officers feel that they are being supported, appreciated, in all the work that they do,” Chow told CTV News Toronto Tuesday. More recently, top-cop-turned-mayoral-candidate Mark Saunders spent much of the campaign slamming Chow’s voting record on the file, claiming that if elected she would defund the police.
