Gravy Train Slowing Down!
Posted: Fri Nov 03, 2017 6:25 pmAll my life it has pissed me off that crooked cops who are suspended from duty continue to collect their paycheque. Finally, the Ontario government has introduced changes to the Police Act to allow crooked cops to be suspended without pay!
Long overdue, but better late than never!

Baby steps, but for once in the right direction.

Ontario is currently the only province in which chiefs can't revoke the pay of suspended officers, who collect millions of dollars each year. Right now, suspended officers have to be paid even when convicted of an offence, unless they are sentenced to prison.
The new legislation proposes to allow suspensions without pay when an officer is in custody or when they are charged with a serious federal offence that wasn't allegedly committed in the course of their duties.
