The appellant, an Ontario Provincial Police officer, appealed a finding of discreditable conduct.
While on duty in uniform, the officer engaged in a conversation with two occupants of a parked vehicle and used inappropriate language, including a joking remark about shooting the male occupant.
The incident became public knowledge through a newspaper article.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission dismissed the appeal, finding that the words spoken by the officer on duty in uniform constituted discreditable conduct.
