Montreal Police Chief Says Officers Who Commit Misconduct Will Face Consequences
The force says it is investigating evidence concealment, racist conduct and other complaints as six officers face suspensions or reassignments.
- Montreal Police Chief Fady Dagher pledged accountability on Friday, vowing the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal will not conceal information as it investigates misconduct allegations at neighbourhood stations 39 and 21.
- Investigations involve a disbanded 16-member unit from Station 39 accused of racism, plus a separate criminal probe into an officer allegedly concealing evidence in a 2025 domestic violence case.
- Dagher claimed "the 99 per cent responded" by reporting colleagues, promising to be "merciless to those who intentionally and deliberately conduct themselves in a way that tarnishes the uniform."
- Montreal Mayor Soraya Martinez Ferrada expressed confidence in Dagher's reforms, while Opposition Leader Ericka Alneus warned the allegations "shatter the confidence of people in vulnerable situations" and demanded an extraordinary city council meeting.
- The Service de police de la Ville de Montréal prepares a new action plan with community input, with further details on ongoing investigations expected in November.
