Introduction of Guest Speaker: Dan Toppari
Gudelia Morency
Regional Outreach and Education Advisor with the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD). Our office officially opened on October 19, 2009, as the new independent civilian oversight body for public complaints about municipal, regional or Ontario Provincial Police. The OIPRD is an arms-length agency of the Ministry of the Attorney General, staffed entirely by civilians. The OIPRD provides an objective, impartial office to accept, process, and oversee the investigation of public complaints about Ontario’s police.
The OIPRD has a mandate to educate community stakeholders and police services about the public complaints system. One of the ways in which they fulfill this is by facilitating information sessions about the OIPRD’s mandate and the administration of the public complaints system. The hope is that awareness about the public complaints system will help to increase confidence in the system and enhance police-community relations.
Thanking the Speaker: Jason Pollock
