The appellant police officer appealed a conviction and penalty for deceit under the Police Services Act.
He was charged with negligently making an inaccurate statement in a report regarding an arrest, after failing to consult his notes.
The appellant argued the document was an unsigned draft and had not been formally submitted.
The Commission found the document was intended as a report and was placed in the system, upholding the conviction.
The penalty of forfeiting five days' pay was also upheld, given the seriousness of the inaccuracy in the context of responding to public criticism of the police force.
