Malcolm Mercer, who was appointed administrator of the Thunder Bay Police Services Board by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission, attended his final meeting on Tuesday after serving nearly two years in the role.
THUNDER BAY -- Nearly two years since an administrator was appointed to oversee the Thunder Bay Police Services Board following what the Ontario Civilian Police Commission described as an ‘emergency’ in its oversight, that administrator is no longer overseeing or participating in board matters.Mercer was first appointed to the police services board by the OCPC in April 2022, and his tenure was later extended several times over the next two years.
“One of the pieces of advice I had when I took on this role is I would be foolish to declare success because that really understates the importance of the challenges that exist in Thunder Bay. What I consciously would say is there has been progress,” Mercer said. Former police chief Sylvie Hauth, who has since retired, had also been suspended and the police service was without a deputy chief.
“I do not say that to fault them. I think they were very difficult challenges. The result of that was they were not able to get important work done following reports from Senator Sinclair and Broken Trust directed at the service. This board has diversity of perspective.” Mercer added that he believes the police services board’s diversity will be one of its key strengths, which includes various perspectives including that of two Indigenous members.
