A Winnipeg police officer has been charged with fraud after an investigation by Manitoba’s police watchdog.
Const. Elmer Hanson will be appearing in court July 22, after his insurance company notified the Independent Investigation Unit (IIU) that he was allegedly operating a private business while on long-term disability.
Manulife Financial told investigators that Hanson hadn’t notified them of his business, as required.
Hanson faces one charge of fraud over $5,000.
