14 cops suspended in Montreal North
Police chief Fady Dagher is holding a presser late Friday evening to announce the suspension of 14 officers from Station 39 in Montreal North for committing or tolerating racist and hateful actions. Cutting and collecting dreadlocks as trophies is mentioned.

Good start.

Seems like it’s been updated since you posted: “He also confirmed that two police officers are suspended, three were reassigned and the rest of the unit was “relocated” so they won’t have contact with citizens for now.”

So fourteen of sixteen cops are still working and being paid, two are not working but may or may not be unpaid, and this investigation (run by whom exactly? Their coworkers? Good for those who reported this but I bet a lot more knew and said SFA) has been going on secretly for two months now. Glad we have so much accountability.

Charges may be brought against two of them. At least the DPCP is involved in the file now.
More detail in Saturday’s column by Patrick Lagacé where he emphasizes the unusual situation in which police informed their superiors about actions by their colleagues, breaking an ageless taboo.
SMF says she’s closely monitoring the situation. And wishing it would go away, I’ll bet.

SMF is an immigrant and a POC. One can only hope she takes this more seriously than Plante did.
