I Would Support This Only When......

.....the Toronto Media get together and make a concerted effort to apply the same standards to Toronto City Council. If the disposition of charges against police personnel is fair game then why not apply the same concern about all city employees.

Cops too secret for media
Police board to review openness
By TORONTO SUN STAFF

The Toronto police service makes it exceedingly difficult for reporters to get information about disciplinary hearings and misconduct charges against its officers, several media outlets complained yesterday.

The Toronto Sun, the Toronto Star, and the Globe and Mail backed a request for a policy review by CBC Radio reporter Dave Seglins at yesterday's police services board meeting.

Seglins told the board that reporters are forced to visit police headquarters on College St. in person each week if they want to learn the names of officers scheduled to appear before a tribunal on police service act charges.

The disciplinary hearing schedule is now posted at headquarters every Monday.

Details of the case against an officer and previous tribunal decisions can only be obtained by making a written request in person and returning at a later date to sign for the documents, he added.
