A Toronto police officer, Const. Anson Alfonso, faces a rank reduction for misconduct linked to his inadequate handling of a domestic violence report. Just three days prior to the tragic murder of Daniella Mallia, who was subsequently killed, she reached out to authorities regarding threats from her ex-boyfriend. The tribunal decided on an 18-month demotion for Alfonso, highlighting his negligence, which included a mere three-minute conversation with the suspect and no effective support for the victim. This incident underscores the critical need for improved police response in domestic violence cases.
Const. Anson Alfonso is demoted for his significant failure to properly respond to and investigate a domestic violence report which preceded a tragic murder.
The tribunal ruled that Alfonso's misconduct, which included insufficient engagement with the victim and neglecting critical details, warranted a demotion for 18 months.
