Insp. Joyce Schertzer of the Toronto police is appealing a tribunal decision that ruled her guilty of misconduct for intervening in a collision investigation involving her nephew. Amidst her demotion to staff sergeant for nine months, the appeal documents, filed with the Ontario Police Arbitration Commission, argue that the hearing officer made unreasonable findings, ignored evidence, and exaggerated the circumstances of her actions. Schertzer's legal team asserts that the penalty imposed was excessive and that her exemplary character and service record were not sufficiently considered in the tribunal's decision.
The hearing officer erred in imposing a harsh and excessive penalty that was unwarranted, arguing unreasonable findings and disregarding character evidence.
A fully informed citizen would be shocked when considering the actions and inactions of Insp. Schertzer, reflecting the serious nature of her misconduct.
