On October 27, 2023, South Simcoe Police received a complaint from the Office of the Independent Police Review Director (OIPRD) that involved an interaction with a female that constituted a sexual assault allegation.

Upon receipt of the complaint and due to the nature of the allegations, the South Simcoe Police Service notified the Special Investigations Unit (SIU) who invoked their mandate. At such time, the Constable was assigned to administrative duties, however, has been off on leave.

After the SIU completed their investigation, it was determined that they were unable to proceed with laying criminal charges in relation to that matter.

Through investigation of the initial complaint and further information that was revealed, it was determined that a Police Service Act investigation was warranted. South Simcoe Police requested the assistance of the Barrie Police Service Professional Standards Unit to investigate the matter pursuant to the Police Services Act.

After the investigation was concluded by the external police agency, nine (9) counts of discreditable conduct were substantiated involving two complainants.

The matter is currently before a Police tribunal and the Constable appeared virtually for a first appearance date on October 25, 2024 in answer to the Code of Conduct breaches. The matter has been put over to a next appearance date that is scheduled for November 26, 2024 at 9:00 a.m. via teleconference.

To protect the privacy of the complainants and maintain the integrity of the investigation, South Simcoe Police will not be releasing further details as the matter is currently before a police tribunal
