Durham Regional Police Constable Erin Howard has been demoted for three months after facing six disciplinary charges for voicing her support of the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protest and speaking out against pandemic-related mandates while in uniform.
At a hearing on Dec. 6 before retired Superintendent Greg Walton, Howard plead guilty to one charge of dishonourable conduct under the provincial police services act. Two charges of insubordination, two charges of breach of trust, and another charge of dishonourable conduct were dropped in a plea deal.
