How will John Tory impose scrutiny on the number of officers making Sunshine list.

Please show us the link(s) TTC did not employ human resource maneuvers (1) natural attrition and (2) early retirement package to handle this contract-out situations.

Yes, because mass attrition happens instantly... Standard attrition rate is 15% annually, meaning those deadbeats will be around for at least 7 years... most likely longer... why the hell would the leave if they have just been handed a golden envelope with a job for life in it?
Early retirement packages can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars PER EMPLOYEE.

Do you actually think before you type, or are you really that stupid?
Wait... we all know the answer to that question.

PS: 'natural attrition' is NOT a 'human resource maneuver', idiot.

Police should not be permitted to take paid duty assignments.

Paid duty covers two things generally:

1) Security at events -- there is really no reason why private security can't handle this. We even have armed private security in Canada.

2) Traffic duty at road construction, etc. -- we could deputize people to do this, give them the power to direct traffic, but not arrest, and allow private firms to hire them out. Parking enforcement could do it alternately.

If police want to work overtime there's lots of casework in Toronto that could use some additional police attention -- how many times do we hear people complain that the police don't have the resources to investigate burglaries, broken-into cars, purse snatches, cellphone theft, etc., the police say they don't have the resources. Well, they do have the resources -- working paid duty. Wrong priority!

Yes this is what bothers me. I expect a lot of officers are just 'putting in time' for their salaried job, and not letting paperwork or anything else interfere with getting that sweet paid duty bonus.

For example, a constable named Virani Abdulhameed brings in more than $240,000 per year, before tax.

This guy must be sleeping (or sleepwalking) through his full-time job and making the extra hours his main priority.
