Patricia A. Monture-Okanee

The appellant police officer appealed a finding of guilt and penalty for discreditable conduct.

The charge arose after the appellant attended a residence at 2:00 a.m. to deliver provincial offence notices for minor infractions to individuals known to be hostile to police and who had been consuming alcohol.

The Ontario Civilian Police Commission found the appellant's actions were unnecessary, inappropriate, and likely to bring discredit upon the police force.

The Commission dismissed the appeal, sustaining both the finding of guilt and the penalty.
