The Service was seeking the dismissal of Sergeant Mugridge from his employment in the disciplinary proceeding. Chief of Police Gary Conn is pleased that this matter has concluded with Sergeant Mugridge no longer being employed by the Service and without the necessity of further legal proceedings.
Sergeant Mungridge’s retirement has resulted in a loss of jurisdiction for the disciplinary proceeding under the Police Services Act; however, if any police service in Ontario were to employ him in the next five years that Service would be obliged to continue the prosecution as outlined under the Police Services Act.
