Brian Mayes resigns from Winnipeg Police Board
CBC
Coun. Brian Mayes (St. Vital) has resigned from the Winnipeg Police Board.
"I believe the board's relationship with city council has become dysfunctional, with ongoing arguments over respective roles and jurisdiction," Mayes tweeted on Monday.
He added the provincial governments should consider different public oversight of policing when it presents legislation this fall.
Mayes declined an interview with CBC, saying he didn't want to "worsen relationships."
The board is meant to guide and hold the city's police service accountable for how its work in regard to community values and needs.
Mayes wrote that he supports board chair Coun. Markus Chambers (St. Norbert-Seine River).
In Friday's police board meeting, Mayes and other members commented on the use and purpose of the board itself.
