Police Officer Demotion and Disciplinary Procedures: The Case of May 31, 2020

2023-12-21 16:48:53

The facts date back to May 31, 2020. According to the press release, they were reported the same day and heavily sanctioned. The police officer was changed service and suffered a “demotion in the salary scale“. Although they were informed, the mayors explain on the other hand that the images “have not been brought to the attention of the College“. It was after discovering them this Wednesday evening in #Investigation that they now believe that the police officer concerned “no longer has its place within the Midi zone police force“.

The press release also explains that the mayors and the Chief of Staff are “in favor of a revision of the current law regulating the disciplinary procedures of police officers in order to make it faster, safer and simpler“. They ask that, as was the case previously, a criminal conviction leads to the automatic resignation of a police officer. Note that, in the case before us, the police officer went before the courts, which decided to suspend the pronouncement of his conviction. Which means, in concrete terms, that there will be no mention of this case on his criminal record.
