In June, allegations of racism, misconduct, and criminal behavior emerged against a 16-member patrol unit from Montreal North. The SPVM (Service de police de la Ville de Montréal) disbanded the patrol unit and suspended three officers pending further investigation. On Monday, the SPVM announced that evidence collected as part of its initial probe had been submitted to Quebec’s prosecution office, DPCP, for review. This decision is expected to determine next steps regarding potential charges against involved officers. Other related investigations are ongoing; however, details remain undisclosed due to the sensitivity and complexity of these cases.
