Toronto police Staff Sgt. Ernest 'Dave' Haynes is facing serious police act charges, including discreditable conduct and breach of trust. Allegations stem from his sharing of confidential information via email and social media, including a post criticizing police leadership. One instance involves Haynes sharing sensitive details of a sexual assault case with the complainant and other unauthorized disclosures. While Haynes appeared briefly at a tribunal, the merits of the case have yet to be heard. His wife, Krista Ford Haynes, and Ontario PC Leader Doug Ford have been contacted for comments but have not responded.
"In one of the incidents outlined in tribunal documents, Haynes is alleged to have shared an email in late 2023 containing confidential police information regarding a sexual assault investigation with the complainant in the case."
"Haynes is alleged to have shared an email in late 2023 containing confidential police information regarding a sexual assault investigation with the complainant in the case."
"The post then goes on to describe a complaint that had been brought against Haynes — information the tribunal documents say he was not authorized to share."
"Your statements disparaged the Service," reads the notice.
