Ottawa Police Chief Peter Sloly warned police officers that he will use the Police Service Act to go after any police officer who offers food, water, fuel, logistics to any trucker protesting in Ottawa. He announced that law enforcement officials may even use the “criminal code” to charge members of the police force assisting the Freedom Convoy 2022 members.
There is no facilitation of food, water, fuel, logistics, or funding by any member of this police service or any other police service that I am aware of. Let me repeat. There is no supply of food, water, fuel, logistics, or anything else that relates to enabling this demonstration by any member of the Ottawa police service or any other police service that I am aware of. Should that information come to me, you can be clear that as Chief of Police of this service, I will conduct a full investigation, I will include the full extent of the police service act, and if relevant the criminal code to pursue charges against such a member who would do that.”
