Ottawa Police Officer Charged for Misconduct after Donating to the Freedom Convoy

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.
