'Poor judgment' leads to 2 cop
The Quebec Police Ethics Commission has ordered that two police officers be suspended without pay following an accident that injured two Montreal women.
Sûreté du Québec Constable Stéphane Sasseville was suspended for 30 days for the charges involving each woman, to be served concurrently, for not using his patrol car with care while rushing to an accident on Nov. 27, 2004.
At the corner of Ferrier St. and Décarie Blvd., his car collided with a Honda, resulting in serious injuries to Sharon Rozen-Aspler and lesser ones to Paula Glazer.
Sasseville, who was driving at 70 kilometres an hour, did not ensure that the road was clear when he crossed the intersection on a red light, the commission said. The patrol car left no trace marks and the impact displaced the Honda about nine metres.
"Sasseville used poor judgment," the ruling said.
In turn, Montreal police Constable Martin Couture was cited for an "inadequate and incomplete" investigation of the accident.
Under Quebec law, when an officer is involved in a death or serious injury it is always investigated by another police force to ensure impartiality.
He never called an expert to reconstruct the scene, failed to consider how seriously the cars were damaged, and did not mention the driver's speed or that he burned a red light.
Couture was suspended for five days without pay. Such sentences are usually appealed.
