Default Chief's response to traffic stop incident 'inflamed' rank and file, police association president claims

Chief's response to traffic stop incident 'inflamed' rank and file, police association president claims

Sep 10, 2020

The head of Ottawa's police union has accused Chief Peter Sloly of lacking leadership and failing to support rank-and-file officers by speaking out against an alleged incident of racial profiling.

In an open letter posted on the Ottawa Police Association website, president Matt Skof took issue with Sloly's assertion that systemic racism exists within policing and accused him of scapegoating a rookie officer.

"He has failed the leadership test," Skof wrote. "A sense of hope with a change of command has withered."
