Toronto’s police chief says he is launching an anti-corruption strategy to improve “accountability” after seven current and one former officer were arrested and charged last month as part of an organized crime investigation.

The two-year project will “prevent, detect, and address corruption” on the heels of Project South, an investigation into police corruption linked to organized crime in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), Police Chief Myron Demkiw said in a report to the Toronto Police Services Board.
