Montreal police say they have suspended two officers from a station downtown and opened a misconduct investigation.

Two Montreal police officers suspended over new allegations of misconduct

Montreal police have suspended two officers and launched an investigation into allegations of misconduct. The police, however, could not disclose further details to protect employee personal information and maintain professional investigation standards. According to La Presse, one officer allegedly urinated on an unhoused individual while on duty; fellow officers denounced this colleague.

The second suspended officer, involved in a separate incident, allegedly posed for photos mocking a suspect in a humiliating position during an arrest. These allegations were reported by the Canadian Press, but they have not independently verified these claims. The suspensions follow earlier allegations of racism and misconduct at a Montreal patrol unit, leading to the suspension of four officers and ongoing Crown prosecutor review for potential criminal charges.
