Crime Beat TV published this video item, entitled “TPS missing persons review finds systemic bias, specifically in Bruce McArthur case” – below is their description.
An independent review into how the Toronto Police Service conducted several high-profile missing persons investigations is calling for a major overhaul in policies, procedures and resources amid finding systemic bias in the handling of missing persons cases, specifically those involving the eight men who were victims of serial killer Bruce McArthur.
The scathing report, commissioned in June 2013 by Justice Gloria Epstein, found that opportunities were missed to capture McArthur sooner, starting with the investigation into his first victim in 2010.
In the report, it noted concerns were raised that investigations connected to McArthur were “infected by bias” and that there were “serious flaws” in many probes. It said some in the community felt it wasn’t until Kinsman, who was not a person of colour, disappeared that there was serious interest. The report noted many officers rejected that view since there were many officers who “worked tirelessly to solve these cases.”
