Officials from the Ottawa Police Service and Ontario Provincial Police are expected to testify about their challenges overcoming the “Freedom Convoy” protests Thursday at an inquiry investigating the federal government’s use of the Emergencies Act.

Acting deputy Ottawa police chief Patricia Ferguson, who led the city’s law enforcement operation during the demonstration and OPP Supt. Craig Abrams are slated to appear.

Ferguson is expected to tell the commission about challenges and internal disputes within the police service during the convoy, and how policing efforts were impacted as a result.

And it is anticipated that Abrams will provide a candid view of policing operations during the protests, and some insight into how the different police forces were interacting with one another.
