A high-ranking Toronto police official, Superintendent Stacy Clarke, who holds the distinction of being the first Black woman to attain such a position in the department’s history, has admitted to her involvement in aiding her mentees in cheating during a promotional interview process that she was responsible for overseeing.
Clarke has entered a guilty plea in front of a disciplinary tribunal and is facing seven charges under the Police Services Act. These charges encompass three counts of breach of confidence and four counts of discreditable conduct.
According to an agreed statement of facts, Clarke, during her tenure as a member of promotional interview panels in 2021, took photographs of interview questions and answer guidelines and subsequently shared them with six of her mentees who were vying for promotions to the rank of sergeant.
Additionally, she engaged in a three-day session at her residence with one of her mentees, a close family friend, during which she conducted a mock interview, utilizing questions that were sometimes verbatim from those posed during the official panels held the previous week. It is worth noting that Clarke later participated in this officer’s promotional interview panel without disclosing their personal friendship or mentor-mentee relationship.
The sentencing for Clarke will take place at a later date.
