Police Chief Mark Saunders
The Toronto Star is reporting that Mark Saunders, 52, will be the new chief of the Toronto Police Service. It was well-known the experienced 32-year veteran was in the running. But it seems, according to the Star, that the civil authority of the City “caved” to pressure from Chief Blair and the police union around issues thus far vague. The Star story, written by Royson James with Wendy Gillis, appears to be based on sources who are supporters of Deputy Sloly. It outlines purported fears among the rank and file that Sloly was too young at 48 to understand the average cop’s job. Toronto Star Saunders bio Globe and Mail
