BRAMPTON, Ont. – A Peel Regional Police officer is facing three counts of breach of trust after an investigation that lasted nearly a year.
Police say the investigation began last June after a complaint about employee misconduct.
They say Const. Sean Duggan, who has been with the force for 16 years, allegedly used police databases to conduct searches on several members of the public and then contact those people starting in 2017.
