An Ottawa police officer is facing charges of discreditable conduct for undertaking unauthorized investigations into the possible connections between the deaths of nine children or infants and their parents’ COVID-19 vaccination statuses.
Between June 2020 and January 2022, Constable Helen Grus allegedly “self-initiated an unauthorized project” to probe those death cases, according to a notice of disciplinary hearing issued by the Ottawa Police Service’s (OPS) professional standards unit.
