The Ottawa Police Service has a policy to deal with camera infractions 'to hold members accountable'
So many Ottawa police officers are getting caught by photo radar and red light cameras, that the Ottawa Police Service has created a separate category to capture statistics for driving-related complaints, according to a new police complaints report.
It is a trend that has been growing for more than a year as the city has rapidly expanded the number of speed and red-light cameras monitoring traffic.
During the third quarter of 2024, internal complaints rose by 278 per cent from a year earlier, according to the report that is part of the agenda for Monday’s Ottawa Police Services Board meeting. Between July and the end of September of 2024, there were 223 internal police complaints compared to 59 for the same period a year earlier.
