The New Toronto Police Union President: Jon Reid’s History of Corruption
<p>Jonathan Reid was recently elected as the new Toronto Police Association (TPA) president, replacing Mike McCormack who left amid a storm of <a href="https://nocherrypicking.medium.com/a-barrel-of-bad-apples-the-presidents-of-the-toronto-police-union-eb40bba0440f" rel="noopener">controversies</a>. Given the <a href="https://nocherrypicking.medium.com/are-they-worse-than-mccormack-the-toronto-police-union-president-candidates-d63bab627436" rel="noopener">other candidates running</a>, he was a middle-of-the-line candidate, mostly promoting a status-quo policing agenda and fighting the “hostility” directed at police.</p>

The following is what I could find from searching news articles, court records, and police arbitration documents.</p>
