Tony.Loparco@ontario.ca Dear Director Loparco:
 

RE: Ontario Human Rights Commission Inquiry

For over a decade, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) has raised concerns about anti-Black racism in policing in Toronto. Carding and other practices that have a disproportionate negative impact on Black persons have eroded trust in police, which is essential to effective policing, and ultimately, public safety.

Under the authority of section 31 of the Ontario Human Rights Code (Code) the OHRC is conducting an inquiry into potential racial profiling of, and racial discrimination against, Black persons, including in use of force, by the Toronto Police Service (TPS).

The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has documents and things that are relevant to this inquiry. Pursuant to subsections 31(7) and 31(8) of the Code (see Appendix 'A'), the OHRC seeks documents and things from the SIU pertaining to all SIU investigations of TPS officers that were initiated, completed, and closed between January 1, 2010 and June 30, 2017 and ongoing SIU investigations of TPS officers that were commenced on or before December 31, 2016.

The OHRC requests the full and complete investigative file of every case when the SIU:

  1. Fully investigated and laid criminal charges against the officer;
  2. Fully investigated and determined that charges were not appropriate; and
  3. Is engaged in an ongoing investigation.

The full and complete investigative file includes, but is not limited to: notes, statements, photographs, pictures, diagrams, medical records, video recordings, audio recordings and all other documents and things created or acquired by the SIU during the course of its investigation.

The OHRC also requests any SIU letters to the Chief of the TPS, responding letters from the Chief of the TPS, and the full and complete SIU Director's report.

Under section 31 of the Code (see Appendix 'A'), the SIU is obligated to produce the above-noted documents and things and provide any assistance that is reasonably necessary, including assistance in using any data storage, processing or retrieval device or system, to produce a document in readable form.

Pursuant to section 31 of the Code, and subsections 38(2), 39(1), and 42(1) of the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act, the OHRC is authorized to receive personal information in an inquiry.

To begin the process of providing the above-noted documents and things and assistance to the OHRC, please have your staff contact Sunil Gurmukh (Counsel, Legal Services and Inquiries - Tel: 416-314-4519, E-mail: sunil.gurmukh@ohrc.on.ca) and Reema Khawja (Counsel, Legal Services and Inquiries - Tel: 416-326-9870, E-mail: reema.khawja@ohrc.on.ca) by no later than July 21, 2017.

We look forward to working with you and receiving your assistance in accordance with the requirements of the Code. In keeping with the OHRC's commitment to public accountability and its duties in serving the people of Ontario, this letter and your response may be made public in the future.

Sincerely,

Renu Mandhane, B.A., J.D., LL.M.

Dear Chief Saunders and Chair Pringle:

RE: Ontario Human Rights Commission Inquiry

For over a decade, the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC) has raised concerns about anti-Black racism in policing in Toronto. Carding and other practices that have a disproportionate negative impact on Black persons have eroded trust in police, which is essential to effective policing, and ultimately, public safety. Our shared values of public trust and safety depend on a new and progressive approach, grounded in the principles in Ontario's Human Rights Code (Code) and accountability for racial discrimination.

Under the authority of section 31 of Code, the OHRC is conducting an inquiry into potential racial profiling of, and racial discrimination against, Black persons by the Toronto Police Service (TPS).

Pursuant to subsections 31(7) and 31(8) of the Code (see Appendix 'A'), the OHRC requests that the TPS and/or Toronto Police Services Board (TPSB) produce documents and things itemized in numbers 1-14 below pertaining to the period between January 1, 2010 and June 30, 2017.

Dear Chief Saunders and Chair Pringle:

The OHRC's letter dated June 30, 2017 mistakenly refers to the "Criminal Injuries Processing System".  It should have referred to the "Criminal Information Processing System".".

My apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

 

Sincerely,

Renu Mandhane B.A., J.D., LL.M.
