Durham Police Allegations Investigation

Report findings on Durham police and CEO collusion.

To investigate your request regarding potential collusion between Durham police officers in Ontario and CEOs for illegal payouts, I'll need to conduct a detailed search of available public records and credible sources. This process involves analyzing data from various sources like news articles, public statements, court records, and official reports. It's important to note that the analysis will be limited to publicly available information and will adhere to privacy and legal constraints.

I'll now begin the search and report back with any findings related to the specific instances you've mentioned, focusing on evidence-based information. Please be aware that if there are no publicly available records or credible reports on this topic, I might not be able to provide concrete findings. I'll update you shortly with the results of my search.

After a thorough investigation into public records and credible sources regarding allegations of collusion between Durham police officers in Ontario and CEOs, the available information suggests a broader context of internal issues within the Durham Regional Police Service but does not specifically confirm the details of CEO collusion as mentioned in your query. Here are the key findings:

1. Oversight and Investigations: An administrator has been appointed to oversee the Durham Regional Police Service amid investigations by the province's oversight agency into allegations against the force and its police services board【8†source】【9†source】. These investigations were prompted by concerns about corruption, criminality, and serious misconduct within the police service【23†source】.

2. Charges Against Deputy Chief: Durham Region's deputy police chief has been charged with deceit under the Police Services Act. This charge, related to a violation of the police code of conduct, emerged from an investigation by Ontario's civilian police watchdog, which began in 2019【10†source】【12†source】【16†source】.

3. Resignation of Police Chief: Durham Regional Police Chief Paul Martin announced his resignation following the appointment of an administrator to oversee the police service. This occurred in the context of an inquiry into allegations of wrongdoing and potential corruption among senior members of the service【20†source】【22†source】【25†source】.

4. Investigation by Ontario Civilian Police Commission: The Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) has launched an investigation into allegations against Police Chief Paul Martin, the Durham Region Police Services Board, and other high-ranking members of the police service. This investigation includes scrutiny of alleged corruption and abuse of power by senior members【24†source】【26†source】.

While these findings indicate significant internal issues and oversight within the Durham Regional Police Service, they do not provide specific evidence of illegal payouts from CEOs to Durham police officers for the removal of names from police reports, as alleged in your query. The information available in public records and credible reports focuses more on internal misconduct and procedural violations within the police service rather than external collusion with business executives.

If you have more specific details or sources that could guide a targeted search, please provide them, and I can conduct a more focused investigation.
