Peel police officers accused o
Two dozen Peel region police officers, who were investigated after complaints from two men who allegedly videotaped a rowdy drinking party, are now facing disciplinary action.
The actions of the officers are considered serious and have brought discredit to the reputation of the force, Peel region's chief of police Mike Metcalf said in a written statement.
"Their actions are unacceptable and inconsistent with the core values of the organization," the statement said.
"This Police Service does not condone misconduct on the part of any officers, and their conduct has impacted all members of the Peel Regional Police Service."
The force launched an investigation when two Mississauga men claimed that they had videotaped a group of off-duty officers from 11 division drinking behind a local business in August.
The men claimed that when the officers spotted them, they chased them into the woods, and then roughed them up.
After consultation with the Crown attorney's office in Toronto, investigators with the force's professional-standards unit decided to pursue charges under the Police Services Act as criminal charges likely would not result in convictions, the force said in a statement.
The professional-standards unit could have suspended the officers but decided not to.
The officers are facing Police Services Act including discreditable conduct, neglect of duty, corrupt practice and deceit.
A disciplinary hearing has been scheduled for Jan. 22, at which time the names of the officers will be made public.
