The TPS was shielded by law from nosy municipal questions about its spending. Its civilian masters, the Toronto Police Services Board, could dangle a sword of Damocles \u2013 appeals to the OCPC \u2013 over council\u2019s head if the latter started making unwelcome demands. And the one entity with an explicit mandate to scrutinize municipal agencies \u2013 the Auditor General \u2013 had no authority to breach the fortress that is 40 College Street.<\/p>\n<p>How come the TPS is so bloody expensive? Why does the agency spend so much on gear and so little on community programs? Why does it ignore the recommendations of a former Supreme Court justice, not to mention numerous coroner\u2019s inquests, to do far better when it comes to responding to mental health calls?<\/p>\n<p>The reasons are structural, and they\u2019re itemized in the paragraph above. This, in part, is what systemic looks like.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s worth noting that Mayor John Tory\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toronto.ca\/legdocs\/mmis\/2020\/cc\/bgrd\/backgroundfile-148277.pdf\">initial motion to council<\/a>, which was long on mollifying rhetoric and short on particulars, barely acknowledged that much of the heavy lifting of reform simply isn\u2019t in the jurisdictional purview of Toronto council. His oversight is, well, perplexing, given that the mayor is a lawyer and has been an <em>ex-officio<\/em> member of the TPSB for the past six years.<\/p>\n<p>As Monday\u2019s debate progressed, council filled out the picture, with key amendments by Josh Matlow, Kristyn Wong-Tam and John Fillion that acknowledged the fact that council, once again, has to go cap in hand to Queen\u2019s Park to secure policy reforms that were debated and democratically approved.<\/p>\n<p>Will Ford Nation play ball? While the premier acknowledged <a href=\"https:\/\/ipolitics.ca\/2020\/06\/11\/ford-acknowledges-systemic-racism-in-police-argues-driving-efficiencies-different-from-cuts-to-police-budgets\/\">earlier in the summer<\/a> that there\u2019s systemic racism in policing, it\u2019s by no means clear that his government will make the changes that Toronto council has requested. Certainly, there\u2019s no provincial response to council\u2019s amended motion that I have been able to find, and yesterday\u2019s holiday slowed the news cycle.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m skeptical because Toronto is just one of five large regional GTA police services, and so far none of the other councils \u2013 Halton, Peel, York and Durham \u2013 have asked for such reforms. Perhaps Queen\u2019s Park will throw Toronto a bone and make the requested change to COTA. But the provincial Liberals swatted aside this very same request from city council five years ago, and I don\u2019t see their successors being any more amenable.<\/p>\n<p>The other giant source of inertia here is history. There was a time when municipal police forces were used for patronage and intimidation by powerful ward-heeler pols. The move to reform policing, which began during the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Progressive_Era\">Progressive Era<\/a> of the early 20<sup>th<\/sup> century, involved wresting municipal political control over local police departments. Progressivist reformers thought such changes in governance would de-politicize policing, but those idealistic notions evaporated in the 1960s. The civil rights era brought about more changes meant to improve relations between the police and communities, often through various citizen oversight bodies. (A useful academic summary about the history of police governance reform is available <a href=\"https:\/\/ufv.arcabc.ca\/islandora\/object\/ufv%3A356\/datastream\/PDF\/download\/ufv_356.pdf\">here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n<p>The upshot locally is that the provincial government still exercises, through legislation and its three appointees to the TPSB, a high degree of control over local policing, a state of affairs that manifests in the form of swollen budgets and the TPS\u2019s sense of entitlement about being mostly exempt from close-in budgetary or programmatic scrutiny. After all, how else can one explain why the <a href=\"http:\/\/spacing.ca\/toronto\/2020\/06\/18\/lorinc-police-cant-find-road-to-reform-even-when-given-a-map\/\">TPS ignored Frank Iacobucci\u2019s recommendations<\/a> to once and for all confront the cops\u2019 tendency to use violence against (mostly racialized) people in crisis?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019d be shocked if the provincial government went along with reforms that give Toronto politicians the right to nitpick at law enforcement budgets, especially because the Police Services Act still says that local councils and police services boards must provide \u201csufficient\u201d funding without actually spelling out what sufficient truly means.<\/p>\n<p>The question, in fact, is what happens if (or rather when) Ford Nation says no to the big governance requests that emerged from this week\u2019s council stand-off.<\/p>\n<p>In Toronto, it\u2019s absolutely clear the police reform genie is out of the bottle, as it should be, and I\u2019d predict that council will soon find itself in a position where it has to deliver meaningful change, on issues like anti-Black racism and mental health, in the absence of the aforementioned legislative changes.<\/p>\n<p>Possible?<\/p>\n<p>Consider this footnote about the auditor general\u2019s access to police books. \u201cFor the longest time,\u201d former TPSB chair Alok Mukherjee told me, \u201cand certainly predating my tenure, the AG was invited in by the [police services] board to conduct annual audits of a wide variety of programs and functions \u2013 from police investigation of allegations of sexual assault to the selection of a new IT system.\u201d (Those reports are available <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torontoauditor.ca\/reports\/\">here<\/a>, searching on \u201cToronto Police Service\u201d.)<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[Former Toronto AG] Jeff Griffiths would come to see me and the Chief every year in preparation of his annual work plan to discuss areas of possible audit. Once he had decided what audits to conduct, he would have complete access to all information and would have complete independence in his work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As Mukherjee adds, the current AG, Beverly Romeo-Beehler, proposed formalizing this arrangement, but John Tory and Andy Pringle, the former TPSB chair, nixed the idea. The city\u2019s AG <a href=\"https:\/\/www.toronto.ca\/legdocs\/mmis\/2019\/au\/bgrd\/backgroundfile-138873.pdf\">hasn\u2019t darkened the doors of 40 College since<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The system, it seems, is systemically resistant to change and accountability \u2014 something to remember when the next chapter of the police reform saga begins to play out at City Hall.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flic.kr\/p\/2jdEt6D\"><em>photo by Jason Hargrove<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For all the heat and light generated by Monday&#8217;s debate over defunding or detasking the police, the compromise \u2014 or compromised, depending on your perspective \u2014 motion that passed Toronto City Council was, in many important ways, little more than an exercise in buck-passing.
