THUNDER BAY — The Thunder Bay Police Services Board is still targeting June for the appointment of the city's new police chief, but it could happen sooner.
June 14 is when suspended chief Sylvie Hauth was originally due to retire, a decision she announced in June 2022.This negates the need for Hauth to appear next month at a hearing into allegations of misconduct, which was ordered by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission. Police board secretary John Hannam says there's been "lots of interest" in the job posting for her permanent replacement, but he declined Tuesday to reveal how many external or internal applications were received.Candidates' credentials are now being reviewed by police services board administrator Malcom Mercer and the board's governance committee, which includes three board members and three Indigenous community representatives.
Later in the year, an expert panel appointed to advise the board recommended that preference be given to an Indigenous or racialized candidate, so long as the individual meets other essential criteria.
