NEW: Ottawa police officer ordered to forfeit 40 hours pay for donating to 'Freedom Convoy' ottnews
An Ottawa police officer will forfeit 40 hours of pay for donating to "Freedom Convoy" fundraisers during the protest in downtown Ottawa last winter.
In a decision released on Friday, Neilson was ordered to forfeit 40 hours of pay and participate in a Restorative Justice process as approved by the Professional Standards Unit of the Ottawa Police Service. The agreed statement of facts says GoFundMe refunded the donation to Neilson; and the same day Neilson donated $55 through a GiveSendGo fundraising campaign. That donation was refunded on March 25.
The officer admitted to donating to GoFundMe and through GiveSendGo during the Professional Standards Unit investigation.
