Jennifer Evans: Force Respects and Evans Move

jennifer evans: It's an opportunity many thought the controversial chief would never get, according to Toronto Star. And if Evans doesn't move quickly to reassure the diverse residents of Peel that her force respects, represents and protects them all, regardless of race, colour or cultural background, it will be an opportunity she didn't deserve. Bernard Weil / Toronto Star Wed., June 28, 2017 Peel Regional Police Chief Jennifer Evans has been granted two more years on the job. On Tuesday, the Peel Police Services Board voted to extend Evans's contract until October 2019, albeit with no chance of renewal beyond that. Evans has remained a notoriously staunch supporter of police street checks also known as carding refusing to suspend the highly criticized practice even after the police board requested that she do so. It was a surprising, even disappointing, move given the board's frequent clashes with Evans on matters of racial equality and diversity. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
