A complaint filed by the mayor’s brother, Doug Ford (Ward 2) has resulted in an investigation into the conduct of TPS Chief Bill Blair. Mr. Ford raised the matter with the local police services board after Chief Blair answered a question from reporters by saying he was “disappointed” by the revelations of the investigation into the activities of the mayor during 2013. Mr. Ford then alleged in November that a conflict-of-interest occurred when Blair went on a fishing trip with Andy Pringle, who is among the seven members of the Toronto Police Services Board. Ford also complained about the matter to the Toronto Police Services Board. The board reviewed that complaint. Coun. Doug Ford has since been sent a letter from the Office of the Independent Police Review Director, advising him that it would be investigating the allegations. The letter indicates that the police board concluded the allegations “may constitute misconduct as defined in Section 80 of the Police Services Act,” which is why the OIPRD has been asked to investigate them.
