Welcome.
This website's main goal is to share my personal experiences with Canadian Law enforcement for the purpose of promoting awareness, change and equitable standards. Secondly, I hope to generate professional interest to secure work using my skills in voice, writing and research.
I believe that the Law should work for us, but historically, it has given us many examples of how it has failed to meet its obligations. Police oversight and their affiliations created at tax-payer expense fail. I strive to inform the public what actually occurs and why this affects each of us.
What started as an earnest attempt to set precedent as an older police officer recruit, repeated denial by every Canadian Police Force for years despite proven merit and competitiveness achieved during huge hurdles, would transform into a different pursuit- public appraisal of our broken and archaic police culture, the redundancy of police oversight agencies and the pointless Canadian Human Rights Commission.
Former MP Karen Vecchio tabling my Petition at Parliament Nov/2020
January 2021 A petition I created for Parliament to consider at Canada's House of Commons: acknowledging inequitable recruiting practices, negligent police oversight and the failure of the Human Rights Commission to follow their own Code during my Ageism claim against TPSB determined by former Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair, who would become the Minister of National Defence. A member with an obvious conflict of interest.
PETITIONS: SMOKE AND MIRRORS
Elected officials granted the power to create legislation influencing the political health of our Country. Instead, petitions are considered a staggering waste of time during Routine Proceedings. A numbers game is at play. Petitions demanding action from large corporations. Signatures, earnest for change, still represent an overall slim proportion of an overall electorate and their target- big corporations- resist change.
An un-democratic process removing regular Canadians from the opponent, Parliament itself. Put simply, petitions are a lesson in futility.

Episode 16: Exposing malfeasance in Canadian law enforcement agencies by Behind Blue Doors
A podcast I participated in describing my experiences for over a decade simply trying to change the perception of vague police officer standards, the negligence of police oversight, my Human rights experience and efforts to approach Ontario Gov't through a petition, the systemic pushback I received from Canadian legal entities meant to maintain the status-quo and resist equitable standards.
VOCAL SAMPLES:
This book is my memoir set for publication. I wrote it with the intention of offering a precedent account and a critical analysis of Canadian Law enforcement and their affiliates. It contains my personal experiences received from police recruiters, police oversight agencies, the Canadian Human Rights Commission, a Petition to Parliament and the resulting non-response from the Ontario Premier and his then Minister in charge of policing Sylvia Jones. It is an unapologetic look at systemic flaws in the justice system to add to the growing conversation of the overdue need for change. It's my hope it resonates with readers.

What They Say
.
"In Theresa Doherty's Memoir, readers will be immediately impressed and captivated with this brilliant and circumspect experience she describes and shares with the reader that underscore "age" discrimination in getting into policing. The cronyism used by Police Institutions, Human Rights Commissions, Government Agencies, Parliament and Oversight Bodies that protect each other to the detriment, in this case of Theresa receiving any type of "fairness" or "justice" in her endeavor to file grievances against Policing Bodies.
This is a necessary Memoir for everyone invested in meaningful changes to dismantle "age" discrimination and Sexism in Policing."

Theresa is right, the police culture is seriously ill, broken. Her voice represents millions. A must read! — Daniel J. Touchette, MBA, Police Commander
“Theresa has climbed over the many hurdles with courage and insight to bring much needed attention to the systemic policing biases and unfair labour practices.”

I am grateful to have met Theresa Doherty earlier in her brave and lonely fight to call out Labour and Human Rights abuses in Public Services. Since then, we have gathered an army of allies to support each other.
