Constable Clay Harnum, a Durham, Ontario, police officer, has been docked 60 hours of pay after pleading guilty to discreditable conduct on Oct. 5 at a police disciplinary hearing. One count of insubordination was withdrawn by the Crown.
Harnum was charged in relation to an Instagram post on Jan. 6, which had a photo of his wife in her police uniform with the caption, “Freedom of Speech is Essential. Please show your support for Constable Erin Howard.” The post included the work email address for the Durham chief of police, Todd Rollaueur.
