William J McCormack was Chief of Police of the Metro Toronto Police from 1989 to 1995. He succeeded Jack Marks.

McCormack was born in Mauritius. He went to sea and was a civilian crewmember on a ship that ferried troops to and from Korea during the Korean War.

He is the son of a British Colonial Police Colonel who was decorated with an MBE by the King for his work with prison reform and children's polio.

The younger McCormack served as a Constable in Bermuda before coming to Canada and joining the Metropolitan Toronto Police.

His tenure as police chief was controversial. At one point he had Now Magazine, a frequent critic of his, charged with prostitution offences due to escort ads in their classifieds. The charges were dismissed.
