Latest officer suspension linked to third racism incident, Montreal police say
- On Aug. 19, Montreal police suspended a fourth officer, connecting the action to a third incident of alleged misconduct in a multicultural neighbourhood.
- Following allegations of racism, Police Chief Fady Dagher disbanded a 16-member patrol unit in June after officers allegedly kept hair from racialized citizens as trophies.
- Before the recent suspension, police had suspended three officers in connection with two separate events, referring those cases to public prosecutors while pursuing an internal investigation.
- Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada, Dagher, and police union head Yves Francoeur announced new measures on Aug. 21 to improve public trust, though they omitted mention of the latest suspension.
- Police declined to disclose when Dagher became aware of the fourth suspension, as the department continues to address ongoing allegations of misconduct and racism within its ranks.
