On July 28, 2026, the Quebec police disciplinary tribunal announced the suspension of five officers for their role in a 2018 police chase that left a Montreal woman seriously injured. The disciplinary action includes three officers from the Sûreté du Québec and two officers from the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal.
The tribunal’s decision follows a review of the incident that took place in 2018, when police pursued a suspect through city streets. The high‑speed pursuit resulted in a collision that caused significant harm to a woman who was in the vicinity of the chase. The injury to the civilian prompted a later investigation into the conduct of the officers involved.
The three provincial officers from the Sûreté du Québec and the two municipal officers from the Montreal police force were found to have participated in actions deemed inconsistent with departmental policies. The disciplinary tribunal concluded that their involvement contributed to the circumstances that led to the woman’s serious injury.
The suspension marks a rare instance of disciplinary measures being applied several years after the original event. Authorities said the decision reflects a continued commitment to accountability within both provincial and municipal police services.
While details of the specific length or conditions of the suspensions were not disclosed, the tribunal’s announcement underscores the ongoing scrutiny of police operations that result in civilian harm. The case remains a reference point for discussions about police pursuit protocols and the responsibility of law‑enforcement agencies to protect public safety.
The disciplinary action is expected to be recorded in the officers’ service files and may influence future training and operational guidelines for both the Sûreté du Québec and the Service de police de la Ville de Montréal.
