Inspector General of Policing Ryan Teschner says he is committed to ensuring residents of Thunder Bay and the Indigenous population receive accountable policing.
THUNDER BAY - The way the Thunder Bay Police Service conducts death and missing person investigations will be under inspection by the province's Inspectorate of Policing.
This is the first inspection of a police service Teschner is undertaking following receiving several complaints regarding the Thunder Bay Police Service last spring. “They were all related to deaths of individuals in Thunder Bay and all raised concerns in the complaints about how those death investigation were being conducted, how information that was being provided or not being provided to families,” Teschner said.
“Our role will be to look more holistic in how the Thunder Bay Police Service is conducting those investigations, if there are areas they need to improve, we will identify those,” Teschner said. “If there are areas where they are doing good work, my mission is to also highlight that as well. Our report will be comprehensive in that sense.”
