Senator Vern White, a former Ottawa police chief, says he is considering entering the race to be the next chief of police in Toronto but cautions that he hasn’t given the prospect enough thought to be certain.
“I haven’t given it enough thought,” White told the Citizen Tuesday afternoon. The senator says he’s not sure if Toronto is even entertaining the idea of bringing in someone from outside the city.
Toronto Police Services Board chair Alok Mukherjee has said that the board is looking for candidates from diverse and varied backgrounds who could be from other jurisdictions. The board announced earlier this summer that it will not renew Chief Bill Blair’s contract when it expires in the spring of 2015.
White was chief of police in Ottawa from 2007 to 2012 when he left to take an appointment to the senate. He was replaced as chief by Charles Bordeleau.
White was largely described as a no-nonsense, outspoken police officer. He spent more than 20 years with the RCMP, rising to the rank of assistant commissioner.
He has also been critical of Senate colleagues who have been embroiled in scandal. He is currently serving as a special advisor to provincial Ombudsman André Marin’s review of Ontario’s use-of-force and de-esclation guidelines for police.
Marin tweeted his support for the former chief Tuesday. “Smart, affable, energetic and embodiment of emotional intelligence,” the ombudsman wrote.
