For decades the Toronto Police Service has been criticized for ordering “a very large portion of people arrested” to take off their clothing while at a police station or sometimes even at the side of a road.
“Strip-search opportunities are abused elsewhere, but not as systemically or as regularly as they are in the city of Toronto,” says criminal defence Lawyer, Kim Schofield.
In January of this year, data shows Toronto Police performed strip-searches on more than 270 people per week. That’s 40 times higher than any other big city police service in Ontario. In February, that number dropped dramatically to about 40 per week.

London police Const. Wesley Reeves has spent more than one-third of his nine-year policing career on paid suspension.
Reeves, 35, was suspended in 2017 after he was charged with five criminal offences, but those charges were dropped after he signed a peace bond. Then in October 2019, he was ordered to resign or be fired after pleading guilty to five professional misconduct counts for abusing drugs and misusing an internal police database.

A “business as usual” police budget for unusual times
Despite calls to modernize, the city seems stuck in a cycle of ever-increasing billion-dollar police budgets for years to come By Enzo DiMatteo
Interim police chief James Ramer.
The Toronto Police Services Board has unanimously approved another billion-dollar budget request from Toronto police last week
The zero per cent increase for 2021 is being touted as “transformational.” But the creative accounting to arrive at a $1.076 billion figure amounts to “kicking the can down the road” for another year when it comes to the hard budget questions, which staff acknowledged under questioning from board members. Staff also identified the inability to draw on dwindling reserve funds to cover future budget costs as a growing concern.
