A former Calgary police officer faces criminal charges stemming from the alleged misuse of an internal computer system to pursue personal relationships with women he first encountered on police-related matters.Former Calgary police officer Brett Singer, 51, is wanted on a warrant to face charges of breach of trust and misuse of a computer system.
The Calgary Police Service said on Wednesday that Brett Singer, 51, is charged with one count of breach of trust and one count of misuse of a computer system. It's alleged that between 2008 and 2023, Singer used police databases to find and pursue further contact with numerous women with whom he had initial contact through calls for service.
Singer was suspended without pay in January of this year following an initial complaint that was made in July 2023. The 16-year veteran officer resigned from the force shortly after his suspension, and it's believed he has since left the country, police said."To the women who were impacted by this individual and to Calgarians generally, I want you to know this is a serious situation that we will never take lightly. This was a CPS officer — someone who held a position of authority, someone you should have been able to trust," said police Chief Mark Neufeld in a news release.
