Kelly Donovan

Fit4Duty Founder & President, Kelly Donovan, had been a police officer for 5 years when she witnessed abuses of power within her police service when conducting internal investigations.  In May, 2016, Kelly addressed her Police Services Board since they are the oversight body responsible for the effective management of the police service.

The issues Kelly addressed were not objectively or impartially investigated and she became the subject of the very corrupt internal investigation process she had originally addressed.

Over the next 14 months, Kelly contacted every government agency responsible for police oversight to draw attention to the reprisal she was now facing and no agency was willing to intervene.  Kelly resigned from policing, after facing a protracted and corrupt discipline proceeding that would have lasting effects on her career.  She released a report to the media detailing the corruption in policing, and later published her first book. Kelly now has two self-published books and has been featured in news media, including a recent appearance on CBC's The Fifth Estate.

Kelly's passion to do what's right resulted in the creation of Fit4Duty - The Ethical Standard. Kelly's goal is to provide Canadian workplaces a safe reporting mechanism to detect workplace misconduct early, protect those making disclosures and ensure independence during the investigation process.
