The OHRC is mandated to promote and enforce human rights compliance and accountability, expose and challenge systemic discrimination, and examine incidents or conditions of tension or conflict from a human rights perspective. The OHRC does this through education, policy development, public inquiries, and strategic litigation.1

The OHRC held extensive consultations with a wide range of stakeholders. Members of Black communities and organizations serving Black communities were engaged through interviews, focus groups, and a policy roundtable with police leaders to discuss pressing policing issues and potential reforms. The OHRC also interviewed TPS and TPSB leadership, and conducted a survey of TPS officers.
This chapter provides a high-level summary of the results from these consultations, which also informed this final report and the recommendations.
