A bad relationship between Niagaras Police Board and its former Chief Jeff McGuire is what led to his early retirement.
A bad relationship between Niagara's Police Board and its former Chief Jeff McGuire is what led to his early retirement.
We found out Monday that McGuire received a retirement package worth over $870,000 for him to hand in his badge three years early.
Speaking to CKTB's Larry Fedoruk former NRP Deputy Chief Joe Matthews confirmed there was a strained relationship between the board and McGuire.
He says the community should have concerns about what the board sacrificed to get rid of McGuire.
Matthews says to put those kinds of funds foward for this purpose, something in policing had to be put on the backburner.
Some local politicians are speaking out saying this is another case of politics over common sense in Niagara and it's extreme mismanagement of public tax dollars.
