Cst. Grus’ upcoming, fourth appearance is April 28th 2023 at 9:30 am. They have denied online viewing access to the public and are only allowing in person viewing. If you’re in the Ottawa area, please attend to support Cst. Grus.
The fact that Const. Kristina Neilson of the Ottawa Police Service was charged with “discreditable conduct” by her Police Service should send a dire warning to anyone in law enforcement.
Const. Neilson simply exercised her rights as set forth by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and as such, did not discredit Ottawa Police Service.
If there has been any discredit in this case it was by the courts and those involved for failing to recognize it.
Now, more than ever we need to stand alongside of these members and show our support!!
Cst. Grus’ upcoming, third appearance is October 11th, 2022 at Noon via Microsoft Teams.
The Ottawa Police Service Professional Standards Unit has charged Constable Neilson under the Police Services Act and has provided her notice that if convicted they will be seeking a penalty of dismissal or demotion. This charge stems from a donation the officer made to the freedom convoy.
To threaten an officer with dismissal based on a donation to a protest is unacceptable.
Police on Guard stands with Constable Neilson.
Now, more than ever we need to stand alongside of these members and show our support!!
Cst. Grus’ upcoming, second appearance is September 15, 2022 at 1pm via Microsoft Teams. Please contact mediarelations@ottawapolice.ca to request access.
