OTTAWA — Gatineau police have suspended a cop in a high-level management position after being tipped off that he’s the subject of a criminal investigation in another town.
Police said they were notified of the officer’s alleged criminal behaviour by the Department of Public Safety in Trois-Rivières, Que. Police said the incident was isolated and would have occurred in Trois-Rivières while the officer was off duty.
In addition to the criminal investigation, Gatineau police will be conducting their own professional standards and internal affairs administrative inquiry.
Though police say he has been suspended, Gatineau police will not name the officer, nor will they detail the nature of the allegations against him.
