THUNDER BAY - After consulting with more than 60 individuals and organizations throughout the week, the expert panel appointed to review policing in Thunder Bay will hand down interim recommendations in the coming weeks with the full report expected later in the fall.
Mukherjee said it has been the panel’s job to apply a critical lens to any progress being made on implementing past recommendations relating to policing in Thunder Bay from previous reports including the Ontario Civilian Police Commission and the Office of the Independent Police Review Director. “The question has arisen of whether it is adequate to have standalone city municipal police service to provide services that are actually regional in nature,” he said. “The question of building collaboration and building partnership so there is a regional focus in terms of serving and protecting people has come up again and again, so that is something we need to think about.”
Panel member Paul Cook, former chief of the North Bay Police Service, said after the consultations held throughout the week, the panel has a much better understanding of the issues and challenges facing policing in Thunder Bay. “If we didn’t believe there was hope or assist in influencing change, none of us would be here,” Cook added. “It was really reassuring to hear people say we have issues but we want to be part of the solution. The community wants to be part of the solution and they shared some really good recommendations with us.”
