Deputy Chief Kirkpatrick Retires After Misconduct Finding | Canada News

While a February suspension involving a deputy chief using a racially inappropriate term hasn’t been confirmed to involve Kirkpatrick, the case underscores the force’s ongoing commitment to diversity, inclusion, and public trust. The board’s decision reflects a firm stance on accountability within the service. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
