Quebec's Police Disciplinary Tribunal suspended 3 provincial police officers and two Montreal officers over a 2018 police chase that left a Montreal woman seriously injured. The judgment released last week said the officers chased a suspect through downtown Montreal and the Plateau Mont Royal neighborhood before ending on Sherbrooke Street where the fleeing driver struck a woman shoveling snow outside her home. The tribunal concluded the officers should not have pursued the suspect driving with a suspended license because of risks to the public of continuing the chase through a densely populated urban area. The ruling also ordered four of the officers to complete additional training related to police pursuits. The tribunal said the misconduct was particularly serious because the chase involved several police vehicles and continued through an area with pedestrians, schools, parks and bike paths.
