Ottawa Police Still Struggling With Culture

Ottawa Police has spent a decade and millions trying to fix its sexual misconduct crisis, but insiders say real change remains elusive.

Stubbs insists they’re committed to improvement, demanding those who won’t change quit. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
