Ontario police: Report on speeding not provided [Video]

An Ontario police force has been accused of letting a deputy chief off the hook for speeding tickets. The results of an investigation into the allegations have not been provided, despite repeated requests for details.

Last June, The Toronto Star reported Durham Police Deputy Chief Chris Kirkpatrick was allegedly pulled over in his unmarked vehicle after speeding through a school zone. The next day, he was stopped for allegedly driving 50 km/h over the speed limit, according to the newspaper. In Ontario, that offence comes with a charge of stunt driving, an impounded vehicle and a suspended licence. Both times, the high-ranking officer was reportedly allowed to drive away without being given a ticket.

In an email to CTV National News, Durham Police says, “We are aware of allegations that were made against Deputy Kirkpatrick. Upon becoming aware of the allegations, Chief Moreira referred the matter to the Police Service Board.”
