There were critics within the OPS itself, too.According to this article, some of Sloly's worse critics supported defunding the police and now there are a lack of resources. Maybe they can send some community service personnel to talk to the truckers? The community service angle hasn't worked out well in NYC since they don't have guns.
Peter Sloly resigns as Ottawa's police chief as critics denounce his handling of convoy protest | CBC News
Sloly's resignation comes as sources tell CBC News he's been accused of bullying and volatile behaviour that has damaged relations with senior leadership and compromised the force's ability to cope with the truck protest.
Multiple sources have told CBC News that Sloly allegedly belittled and berated senior Ottawa Police Service officers in front of their colleagues, and has failed to put forward a solid operations plan to end the crisis.
Sources say he allegedly has come into conflict with members of the OPP and RCMP tasked with assisting the city's law enforcement efforts during the crisis.
Sources both inside and outside the police service said Sloly has a short fuse and is quick to yell at members of his senior leadership team.
Since the protest and subsequent occupation of downtown Ottawa began, at least three incident response commanders have been reassigned after working with Sloly, the sources said.
One incident commander who was reassigned described Sloly as having no rationale for his decisions.
"This will all come out in a review," another reassigned incident commander told CBC News. "I can't say any more."
The sources spoke to CBC News on condition they not be named because of concerns about career repercussions.
