A Hamilton police sergeant found guilty of professional misconduct has been docked 74 hours’ pay and ordered to undergo use of force training.
Sergeant Helena Pereira has also been issued a reprimand after being convicted of Police Services Act misconduct charges related to two incidents inside police holding cells in 2013.
One related to pushing a drunk female prisoner in a cell before on-active duty and another related to her failure to immediately disclose a conflict of interest after her arrested cousin was brought in while she was a supervisor.
Pereira has a human rights complaint alleging systemic discrimination pending against the force and has previously said she feels unfairly targeted by the police service.
