A Durham Regional Police officer has been ordered to work an additional 60 hours after taking aim at the police chief on Instagram.
The decision follows an Oct. 5 disciplinary hearing where Constable Clayton Harnum pled guilty to one count of discreditable conduct.
The post also featured a picture of his wife and read “Freedom of Speech is Essential! Please show your support for Constable Erin Howard.” “The public observes and evaluates the police 24-7,” he wrote in his decision. “We, as individuals and as a professional organization must be mindful of this fact. Our members, while on or off duty, must conduct themselves in a professional manner at all times.”
He said Harnum’s “emotions as a husband superseded his professionalism as a police officer” and that he must accept that what he did was unacceptable.
