Fantino to step down as Toronto chief Feb. 28, 2005

Toronto police Chief Julian Fantino, a rumoured contender for the provincial post of commissioner of emergency management, said today that he has talked with government officials about taking the job.
"I obviously have had some dialogue," Fantino said when asked if he's been approached about replacing outgoing commissioner Dr. James Young.
"I'm not about to fade away. I feel very strongly that my skill, my talent, my contacts and my ability to solve problems . . . would be useful still."
But Fantino, who steps down as chief on Feb. 28, stressed that nothing is confirmed.
"It's an undone thing," he told a news conference. "There's been no absolute anything."
Premier Dalton McGuinty has refused to comment on published reports that Fantino could assume the role, saying only that his government has "had a very good working relationship with the chief in the past."
The commissioner's position opened up last week when Young announced he would be leaving the provincial government in January to become special adviser to federal Public Safety Minister Anne McLellan.
The Toronto Police Services Board decided last summer not to renew Fantino's contract as chief.
"I would want to continue in public service somehow," Fantino said.
"Public safety is in my blood."
