Toronto Police Insp. Joyce Schertzer has been temporarily demoted to the lower rank of staff sergeant for a period of nine months for her interference in a collision investigation involving her nephew.
Retired OPP Supt. Lisa Taylor released her penalty decision at a disciplinary tribunal hearing on Monday morning.
A tribunal previously heard that the officer tasked with leading the investigation “did not have the opportunity to determine whether alcohol might be a contributing factor” given how quickly the driver was permitted to leave the scene. Taylor noted that the average person would be “shocked about the lack of recognition of these issues by a senior officer.”“Quality investigations are a critical expectation of the community and the Service, and I find it was the involvement of Inspector Schertzer that negatively impacted the quality of the collision investigation involving her nephew,” Taylor said in her written penalty decision.
Taylor said she has “great respect” for Schertzer for continuing to come to work everyday and contribute “positively” to the police service despite the media scrutiny and negative attention brought on by the misconduct allegations.
