On March 20, 2012, the police officer intercepted Denis Coderre, who was driving a vehicle whose license plate was unpaid.
Two years later, in November or December 2014, she received a call from a man belonging to the Brotherhood of Montreal police officers, who allegedly asked her to have a copy of the report, which the police officer sent to her. , no questions asked.
“She presumed that this was a document to which the Fraternity could have access since she believed that her union would not make a request to her that could embarrass her,” it was written in the verbatim of the decision.
However, on December 17, 2014, Patrick Lagacé, journalist at The Press, obtained a copy of the same statement of offence.
“Despite her good faith, the Respondent admits that by sending the statement of offense without verifying the purpose for which this document was intended, she did not behave in such a way as to preserve the trust and consideration required by her position” , notes the Police Ethics Committee, which issued a reprimand to the policewoman.
