Toronto residents shocked to learn about licensed bar inside TPS headquarters Toronto Police
Accessible only by senior officers, the venue was said at the time to be"routinely topped up with fine wines, the best spirits and several popular brands of bottled beer."
It would appear as though the licensed lounge has long been internally contentious, but few members of the public seemed aware of the fact that senior cops could legally grab a drink at the office until Monday morning, when CBC reported that a TPS superintendent had been present at the on-site watering hole before landing himself an impaired charge last January.
"A Toronto Police Service superintendent entered a lounge with a licensed fully stocked bar in police headquarters about three hours before he crashed his service-issued SUV into another vehicle in Pickering, Ont., and was charged with impaired driving in January 2022," wrote the public broadcaster in a piece published on April 3, 2023.
"Supt. Riyaz Hussein, who headed the service's disciplinary tribunal, pleaded guilty in October to driving with a blood alcohol level over 80 mg per 100 ml of blood." Former head of the Toronto police disciplinary tribunal, Supt. Riyaz Hussein, 54, was driving a black Toronto police SUV on Highway 401 with an open bottle of the popular rum underneath the driver's seat.
