MODERATORS
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An Ottawa police officer who threatened to kill his ex and wielded a knife in a 2020 domestic dispute has been demoted for two years, and some who work to support victims of violence against women say they're disappointed but not surprised.
Community groups are still hoping to go over the safety plan in place for the victim — who also works for the Ottawa Police Service (OPS) — and discuss whether there's been any review of cases that the disciplined officer, Const.
Earlier this fall, more than a dozen women's advocacy groups disagreed with the submission and signed a public letter in late October, calling for Brisebois to be dismissed from the force.
It also called on the force to make cases involving Brisebois available for review, and for the city to redirect resources from policing to community-based supports and services.
Police officers should be held to a higher standard than average citizens, considering that they can make decisions in cases of abuse happening in the community, Lewis said.
The demotion "sends a really strong message to survivors" that Ottawa police don't take partner violence seriously, she added.
