Former Toronto Police constable charged in illegal gambling probe


A former longtime Toronto Police Service (TPS) officer faces multiple charges related to his alleged involvement in an illegal gambling ring with ties to organized crime.

York Regional Police (YRP) confirmed that John Madeley is one of two men charged after a probe into illegal online gaming and betting. CP24 reported that Madeleye retired from TPS at the rank of constable after 28 years of service,

YRP stated that, between January 2024 and October 2025, an organized crime group allowed people to access to gaming websites and place bets using credit. In instances where the wagers lost, the victims of the alleged scheme were required to settle debts in cash, sometimes in “exaggerated” amounts, said a YRP news release.

After an investigation carried out by York and South Simcoe police, officers raided a home in Barrie, Ont. this week where they arrested and charged 55-year-old Madeley. The former office is accused of breach of trust, unauthorized use of a computer and possession of a firearm at an unauthorized place, along with possession of a prohibited device and property under $5000 obtained by crime.

The other man charged is 47-year-old Thomas Phippard, known as Frank the Tank, who was also charged late last year with 11 offences in connection with the ongoing investigation.

According to the CP24 article, four of the seven TPS members charged have been suspended w/o pay. This may be a first since the legislation changed.

And a father (ret.) and son team charged. Family values.

Yeah sorry that’s the guy!

Funny story: I was once at public dinner event on Manitoulin Island when Julian Fantino was head of OPP and he was in attendance at the head table. One of the local islanders didn’t understand the police hierarchy and asked Fantino if he reported to Chief Cam Woolley. 🤣


Two of the local detachment sergeants heard that question and burst out laughing. It was f*cking glorious!!

Wow, the TPS constable at the centre of the corruption scandal has been denied bail. I don’t remember offhand the last time I’ve seen a cop charged and denied bail.

More than 600 RCMP officers faced gender-based violence disciplinary charges since 2014, CBC analysis finds.

Researcher calls findings the 'tip of the iceberg'

This woman was asked by the RCMP to testify against her former husband, an RCMP officer, when he faced disciplinary allegations including domestic violence and sexual assault. CBC agreed not to name her because she fears telling her story could put her in danger.

The screams were so loud that neighbours across the street in this quiet, prairie community called 911.

Within minutes, RCMP officers from the local detachment responded. Inside the house, a woman was crying. So were the kids.

And the officers found themselves investigating one of their own.

"He was screaming and yelling," said the now ex-wife of the RCMP constable — the one the officers were investigating that night. "I was shaking. I was scared."

CBC has agreed not to name the woman because she fears telling her story could put her in danger.

Napkin math puts that at about 60 allegations a year, maybe half or so established, across a force of 19,000 or so. Per the article it covers a pretty broad spectrum of misconduct, which could probably be pretty fairly equated with everything CAF would call “harmful and inappropriate sexual behaviour”.

One is too many, obviously. In terms of comparability, does anyone have similar numbers for CAF, or for other large professions or segments of society? I always wonder about a top line number that’s stripped of meaningful comparison. If half of these allegations are factual - the ‘conviction’ rate reported is lower, but I’ll assume, reasonably I think, that a lot of those who resign in the face of a conduct allegation in fact ‘did the thing’ - that works about to about 0.15% of RCMP members per year. That lands a bit differently from ‘over 600’.

It would be nice if the different types of captured behaviour were broken down by quantity, not just by what percentage resulted in convictions per category. An inappropriate joke or comment that results in a conduct process is distinct from an act or physical violence, or alternatively from looking at porn at work. More granularity there would be useful. I also wish this had been cross tabulated with criminal charges arising out of the same events; normally police conduct matters pause until criminal prosecutions conclude, so this data should be recordable and obtainable.

It’s good to see that their conduct approach in the past few years has been changed to go after this behaviour more forcefully and to (rebuttably) presume dismissal for more serious misconduct of this sort. Unfortunately our profession will never fully rid itself of this behaviour, because cops are humans and some humans suck- but we should be markedly better than a comparable cross section of society.
