Balmoral Street Police Station - (CJ Goater/Acadia Broadcasting)

The former lawyer of the Thunder Bay Police Service cannot practice law for the time being.

Their status with the Law Society of Ontario is currently Not Practising Law due to an undertaking not to practice.

An undertaking is a promise or pledge made by a lawyer or paralegal to the Law Society, usually in writing, during the course of regulatory activity.

The lawyer resigned from city police last year after a half-decade of service.

In late 2021, the Ministry of the Attorney General requested that the OPP investigate allegations of misconduct by members of the Thunder Bay Police Service.

That review led to an investigation by the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch.

That investigation led to multiple charges including obstructing a public or peace officer, breach of trust by a public officer, and three obstruction of justice charges.
