Latest officer suspension linked to third racism incident, Montreal police say
Police say the officer is tied to a third alleged misconduct case as investigators refer the matter to public prosecutors.
- On Aug. 19, Montreal police suspended a fourth officer linked to a third incident of alleged misconduct in a multicultural neighbourhood.
- Police Chief Fady Dagher disbanded a 16-member patrol unit in June following allegations of racism, including claims that officers kept hair from racialized citizens as trophies.
- Before the recent suspension, authorities had suspended three officers in connection with two separate events, referring those cases to public prosecutors while conducting an internal investigation.
- Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Dagher, and police union head Yves Francoeur announced new measures on Aug. 21 to improve public trust, though they omitted the latest suspension.
- Police declined to disclose when Dagher became aware of the fourth suspension, as the department faces continued scrutiny over allegations of misconduct and racism.
