Ottawa’s Police Services Board says it needs more information about the provincial investigation into Deputy Chief Uday Jaswal before deciding what to do about the man who is set to become Ottawa’s interim police chief on July 1.

Jaswal is one of three current and former senior executives with Durham Regional Police being investigated by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission over allegations that led to the Durham police chief’s being removed from his post on Friday.

Jaswal was hired as a deputy chief in Durham in August 2016 after serving more than 20 years with Ottawa police, where he rose to the rank of superintendent. He returned to Ottawa last July when the police services board hired him as a deputy chief here.

On Saturday, the Toronto Sun reported that Ontario’s Solicitor General had issued an order-in-council removing Durham Chief Paul Martin from his post over allegations of corruption and abuse of power. The allegations, which are unproven, have led to a “crisis in confidence” in the Durham force, the order-in-council said. The investigation also involves Jaswal and retired Durham chief administrative officer Stan MacLellan.
