An Ontario police watchdog has concluded its six-year investigation into allegations of cronyism, harassment and criminal activity within the Durham police force, but is not releasing its findings to the public.
The investigation into alleged cronyism at this police force has ended, but the public might never learn the results
Investigation launched in 2019 after “considerable and consistent information” received that senior leadership was favouring certain officers. Police leadership had denied accusations.
