| SUBJECT: | Inspector General Memo #6: Release of the Inspector General of Policing 2024 Annual Report |
I am pleased to share my 2024 Annual Report, “On the Road to Excellence: A year of Progress and Purpose.” This report, mandated by the Community Safety and Policing Act (CSPA), provides a comprehensive picture of the state of policing in Ontario and delves into the common challenges police services and boards face across the province, as well as successful approaches and initiatives to confront those challenges.
As required by the CSPA, the Annual Report details how I have been fulfilling my legislative responsibilities to independently oversee the compliance and performance of legislated entities under the CSPA, including: complaints investigated and dealt with, inspections conducted, and any directions and measures issued.
The report also outlines the important and wide-ranging work being carried out by the dedicated professionals at the Inspectorate of Policing who are working every day to bring my mandate to life. I sincerely thank each of them for their tireless efforts and contributions, and look forward to continuing our work in the years to come.
I also want to extend my gratitude to you—the policing sector—for providing much of the insight and content reflected in this report. Your input has been invaluable, and we deeply appreciate your continued support.
Thank you for your continued trust and confidence in the Inspectorate of Policing.
Sincerely,
Ryan Teschner
Inspector General of Policing of Ontario
