The appellant police officer appealed the penalty of dismissal imposed after he pleaded guilty to deceit and discreditable conduct for falsifying records regarding the discovery of cocaine during a traffic stop.
The appellant argued the penalty was harsh and unjust, noting a co-accused officer received a lesser penalty.
The Ontario Civilian Police Commission dismissed the appeal, finding the appellant's lack of remorse and reformation distinguished his case from the co-accused, and his conduct demonstrated unfitness to hold the office of constable.
