Deane appeals Cann's ruling

Page 10

Ken Deane has appealed police adjudicator Loyall Cann's decision that he must resign or be dismissed from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) for discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act.

"We can't fire him now," OPP Superintendent Rick Kotwa said. "He has a right to appeal and we have to follow the process."

The appeal will eventually be heard by the Ontario Civilian Commission of Police Services, but no date has been set, said Margo Boyd, a senior investigator.

"The request has been received but we have to wait until the lawyers collect evidence and set things into motion."
