Canada: Eight Toronto Officers Arrested in Organized Crime Probe

Pro-establishment narrative

Public trust in policing is fundamental and must be rebuilt after Project South. The arrests demand a full, independent review to uncover how a small number of officers were able to abuse their positions. It must be pointed out, however, that this scandal does not define the Toronto Police Service, as the overwhelming majority of officers serve with integrity and professionalism. Accountability means rooting out corruption without smearing an entire force that protects the public every day.
