Senior OPP officer charged in Ontario fraud case

A South Porcupine OPP officer was arrested Sept. 17 after an investigation by the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) Professional Standards Bureau (PSB) into misappropriation of funds.

The charges resulted from an investigation by the OPP Professional Standards Bureau into misappropriation of fund, but OPP are not saying who made the complaint, whether the charges are related to the officer’s job or off-duty life, where the funds were taken from or how much money is involved. They have however, indicated that there is ‘a victim’ involved.

Sylvie Demers, a 43-year-old OPP sergeant with 21 years seniority, is charged with theft over $5,000, fraud over $5,000 and breach of trust. She will appear in court in Timmins on Oct. 13.

Demers has been suspended from duty with pay in accordance with the Police Services Act.
