The Inspector General of Policing of Ontario, Ryan Techner, is expected to make an announcement Monday regarding the Toronto Police Service and police board’s request for an inspection into police integrity and anti-corruption.

The request came after Toronto police officers were swept up in a major corruption and organized crime probe.

Toronto’s police chief and the police service board have asked the inspector general to look into issues including supervision, recruitment screening and access to databases.

A York regional police investigation alleges Toronto officers accessed personal information and provided it to people who then carried out crimes, including shootings, extortions and robberies.

The case involves seven current and one retired police officer.
