Controversy

• In 2008 a senior police inspector in charge of the Barrie Police Service Professional Standards Branch was relieved of his duties after emailing a racist 'joke' to colleagues.^[3][4]

• In 2009 an attempted obstruction of justice was reported after senior Barrie Police Service officials initially failed to disclose and then subsequently refused to disclose the existence of criminal charges against one of their constables, which included, drug possession and trafficking, cocaine use while on duty, theft (stealing money and phone cards from an evidence bag), and obstruction of justice.^[5][6]

• In 2010 a Barrie police Constable Jason Nevill assaulted and arrested a man under false charges. After the incident was caught on a security camera and caused public outrcry, he was later found guilty of causing bodily harm, unlawful use of authority and obstruction of evidence.^[7] Following a one-year jail sentence, Nevill resigned from the police force.^[8]
