Toronto Police Chief Mark Saunders is calling it a career and will relinquish his job at the end of July — ending a 37-year policing career and five as chief.
“I’ve watched this organization, from start to finish, grow, learn, listen and serve the greatest, and fourth-largest city on the North American continent, and the most diverse city in the world,” he said during a press conference Monday afternoon.

Mayor John Tory thanked Saunders for exemplary service.
