As Toronto’s chief of police from 2000 to 2005, Julian Fantino faced a seemingly endless array of challenges: issues of ethnic sensitivity, rising crime rates, endless budget battles, corruption and vendettas, political spats, a hostile media, and finally, his controversial and contentious dismissal. This brutally frank, hard-hitting memoir describes both his humble beginnings in Italy and his rise through the police ranks, recounting with humor, passion, and honesty the details of a life devoted to public service.
Editorial : About the AuthorJULIAN FANTINO was chief of police for Toronto from 2000 to 2005. Previously, he served as chief in London, Ontario, and in York Region. He left policing to become Ontario’s commissioner of Emergency Management, and in 2006 returned to the fold as commissioner of the Ontario Provincial Police. Born in Italy, he moved to Canada with his parents when he was eleven. He began his career as a police officer in Toronto in 1969. In a distinguished law-enforcement career, he has earned many awards and honours, including: Award of Appreciation from the Jane-Finch Multicultural Association and the Jane-Finch Fights Back Committee; the Order of Merit from the National Congress of Italian Canadians; the Award of Excellence from the Criminal Intelligence Service Canada; the City of Vaughan Community Relations Award; the Canada 125th Commemorative Medal Commander of the Order of Merit to the Republic of Italy; the Order of St. John; the Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal
I was curious enough and interested enough after reading the book to check that out as of updates "today". The book also includes some segments about Canada's action in response to and Canadian support to the US during 09/11.
Fantino ultimately resigns as Chief of Police of Toronto in concert with some police force controversy.
The book was published in 2007, thus stops at a time before that. Here is a book about all of us who found our way through adolescence and tried to understand the adults around us. He realizes that ones cannot count on the general reader to have a full background in all of the literature with which Hume would have been familiar with, if only by contemporary reputation. A second is his empricism; the insistence on impartial evaluation of things as they actually are. One surprising point for me was Harris' emphasis on the importance of Mandeville's work.
This is a well written and thoughtful book. Mossner's enjoyable book focused o
