Description
December 11 Toronto Ontario Attorney General Roy McMurtry announced plans to introduce a bill creating an independent police review board to hear citizen complaints against police. The proposed board would be a three-year pilot project, and would require that citizens first register complaints with the police department itself. This procedure brought into question the independence of the board. McMurtry's announcement came after months of pressure from local minority groups, as well as the release on October 29 of the Carter Report on police-minority relations, which recommended the establishment of a civilian review board.
