Summit. This review will identify and study the issues raised by the Board
and the public regarding the oversight, governance, accountability,
transparency, communications, and supervision.
Within the next two weeks, the Toronto Police Services Board will finalize and
present the Terms of Reference for the Review. The public is invited to make
recommendations on the Terms of Reference.
With the release of the Terms of Reference, the Board will also announce the
individual who will lead the review. The Board is currently pursuing a person
to lead the Review who has a high level of experience and skill in reviewing
complex matters such as this, and whose neutrality and support from all sides
will be above reproach.
The Review will last about 8 to 12 weeks. The Review will conclude with a
report to the Board with recommendations regarding policy and structural
issues.
Individual complaints should be forwarded to the Office of the Independent
Police Review Director, Gerry McNeilly. The website is

The public submissions with regards to the Terms of Reference can be made to
the Board Office at

The Board believes that this Independent Civilian Review is the most
appropriate way forward, allowing us to review the oversight and policy
aspects of policing at the G20 while not jeopardizing ongoing investigations
or individual or policy complaints.
