The Ottawa Police Services Board has settled a civil lawsuit against an officer accused of invading the privacy of a family grieving the loss of an infant by trying to find out if the baby’s mother had been vaccinated against COVID-19.

Detective Helen Grus was accused of accessing the child’s records for no investigative purpose.
