Ontario Police Services...Change Needed

[beachdown]

Ontario seems to be the only province where if a police member is suspended, they continue to get paid until they are actually fired. This madness needs to stop, especially when taxpayers don't have the same luxury if they did something similar.

The Ontario Govt needs to act immediately to change the law, and only then might the bad apples wake up and realize that they are meant to protect and serve, not abuse the law and authority they have.

Examples

Five years in jail for Peel Region constable whose police reports made staged collisions look legitimate

No, not the only province. It's standard here in Saskatoon with the city police force as well.

^ Good to know....but that is besides the point. There provinces where this doesn't fly, and if a civilian employee did the same thing and were suspended / canned, they won't continue to get paid for months, let alone years.
