Peel police Constable charged with Breaching Recognizance

A Peel Regional police officer will appear in court, Saturday, on a second charge of breaching a recognizance.

Police say Constable Douglas Poirier was arrested, Friday.

Poirier is on suspension after a domestic-related assault charge. This is the second time the officer has been charged with breaching his recognizance, the first was in October.

In a press release, Peel police said they “do not condone this type of behaviour and continue to ensure that officers are held accountable for their actions.”

“We take situations like these very seriously and investigators from our professional standards bureau are investigating this incident,” said Peel police chief Jennifer Evans in a statement.

Poirier will appear in a Brampton court, Saturday.
