Const. Paul Heffler\u0027s rank will be lowered from first\u002Dclass to second\u002Dclass for nine months, a hearing officer ruled this week.
Const. Paul Heffler, an OPS member since 1998, had suggested a three-month penalty in his submission to a Feb. 8 penalty hearing, but, in a decision dated Wednesday and subsequently posted on the police service website, hearing officer Chris Renwick agreed with the prosecutor for OPS that nine months of being demoted from first-class constable to second-class was the “appropriate” sanction.Sign up to receive daily headline news from Ottawa Citizen, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.
However, that ruling also said Heffler’s video-recorded comment in 2019 that the “white man’s day is done,” while unprofessional, was not offensive, so he was not guilty of a third count of discreditable conduct. In April 2021, a 10-minute version of the video from a security camera, showing Heffler and two other officers in the exterior carport of a Lowertown building, was posted to YouTube, while tHearings in the disciplinary case took place in November 2022, with testimony by four officers, including Heffler.
Heffler served as an officer with Ontario Provincial Police starting in 1986, before he joined the Ottawa Police Service.
