New Brunswick Police Commission declines comment, calling Roberge's departure a 'human resources matter'
Karissa Donkin · CBC News ·
Steve Roberge is no longer executive
director of the New Brunswick Police Commission as of Wednesday, the
commission confirmed. (CBC)
The province's independent police watchdog has had a change at the top.
New
Brunswick Police Commission executive director Steve Roberge "is no
longer employed by the Province of New Brunswick" as of Wednesday, the
commission confirmed.
"The commission will not comment any further
as this is a human resources matter," acting executive director Jill
Whalen wrote in an emailed statement.
Roberge's
departure comes less than a week after the association representing
municipal police officers called for his removal, calling him a
"dictator" who is "anti-police officer."
The New Brunswick Police
Association has been critical of the way the commission, under Roberge's
leadership, handled investigations into police officers.
That
includes a Police Act investigation into former Saint John deputy police
chief Glen McCloskey's conduct during the first Dennis Oland trial.
"The
issue here, it's the mentality of this person who has an abusive,
authoritarian way of trying to operate up there," association executive
director Bob Davidson said.
He described McCloskey as a "casualty of this mentality."
"We do not want any more officers into this situation where he can destroy them," Davidson said.
CBC
News was not able to reach Roberge last week to respond to the
association's comments.
Attempts to reach him on Wednesday have also
been unsuccessful.
Commission breached privacy
The
commission has asked Public Safety Minister Carl Urquhart "to appoint an
independent third party" to look into the association's allegations "on
the commission's processes and procedures," the commission said in a
statement.
"The commission will fully co-operate with this
process and is committed to continually reviewing the way it provides
quality services to citizens and the police community and meets its
mandate with integrity and impartiality."
It's not clear whether that review will look at a privacy breach involving McCloskey.

conference held last week by the New Brunswick Police Association. (Roger Cosman/CBC)
The
commission was found to have "breached [McCloskey's] privacy on two
instances by disclosing his personal information to the [Oland trial]
Crown Prosecutors and the Defence Team on July 4 and 12, 2017,"
according to a December report from Integrity Commissioner
Alexandre Deschênes.
McCloskey's personal information was
contained in the New Brunswick Police Commission file in relation to the
Police Act complaint against McCloskey, the report says.
The
report doesn't specify what kind of personal information was disclosed.
McCloskey filed a complaint, which prompted Deschênes's investigation.
"As
with any case of a violation of privacy, we, unfortunately, cannot turn
back the clock to prevent the breach from occurring," Deschênes wrote
in his decision.
He did not make any recommendations arising out of his findings.
Roberge hired in 2014
Last week wasn't the first time the association has called for Roberge's removal.
The association threatened legal action against the commission in 2016 over comments Roberge made about the association.
The association and the watchdog group also clashed over high-profile Police Act investigations that ultimately led to Fredericton police officers losing their jobs.
The
commission, an "independent civilian oversight body," is responsible
for managing the "public complaints process into the conduct" of
municipal and regional police officers in the province.
Roberge, a former RCMP officer, reported to a government-appointed commission in his role as executive director.
He'd been in the job since 2014.

I will be away from October 20 to 26. Please
contact Jill Whalen if your query is urgent.
25.The
Plaintiff states that on June 24, 2004 within minutes of his being barred, the
Sergeant-at-Arms, two members of the FPF and one Commissionaire witnessed him
deliver a large number of documents to the attention of two lawyers in the
office of the opposition next door. He suspects that the Sergeant-at-Arms read at
least the cover letter when his documents were in his care because to support
his right to bar a citizen in front two members of the FPF he falsely accused
the Plaintiff of attempting to serve documents while in the legislative
building.
26.The
Plaintiff states that within the hour of being barred, the Plaintiff visited
the headquarters of the FPF and attempted to meet with its Chief in order to
discuss the false allegations and the threat of arrest. Whereas a Corporal
denied access to his Chief, the Plaintiff contacted the City Solicitor of
Fredericton because he knew him personally in younger days. After waiting one
week for someone to get back to him, the Plaintiff visited the constituency
office of the Premier and the law office of a former Premier of NB and gave
them many documents with the same cover letter addressing his concern about
being barred from the legislative properties amongst other issues. One month
later the Attorney General of NB sent an answer similar to what the Deputy
Prime Minister sent eight months earlier telling him to take up his concerns
with the police and ignored the issue of a citizen being barred and threatened
by the police. A lawyer acting as the NB Ombudsman did not wish deal with the
government on his behalf suggested that the Plaintiff take up his concerns with
the New Brunswick Police Commission (NBPC) and introduced them. The Plaintiff,
his wife and a lawyer met with the NBPC. The NBPC acknowledged the complaint and
asked the FPF to investigate their questionable actions. In the eleven years
since the NBPC never responded and the Plaintiff knows why. The NBPC and
Governor General have many of his documents and one is a letter to the
Commissioner of the RCMP. The Plaintiff is well aware the Chair of the NBPC in
2004 was also the Chief Coroner whom he testified before on July 15, 1982 and
he clearly informed the Crown he assisted in a successful civil lawsuit against
the RCMP about a wrongful death.
27.The
Plaintiff states that the Sergeant-at-Arms, two Commissionaires, a librarian, and
two members of the FPF knew that the Plaintiff was in legislative assembly on June
24, 2004 looking for the “blogger” Charles Leblanc. While the Plaintiff was waiting for Charles
Leblanc to arrive that day he exercised his democratic right to witness the
proceedings of the Legislative Assembly from the gallery.
28.The
Plaintiff states that apparently a friend of the Crown put a new spin on this
matter the following day. The Crown’s corporate media has never said anything
about the Crown’s malicious actions barring him it has had lots to say about
the barring the blogger Charles Leblanc two years later and it has made the
arrests and prosecutions of him well known. On June 25, 2004 Charles Leblanc a
well-known friend of the MLAs, the Sergeant-at-Arms, the Commissionaires, the
RCMP and the Fredericton Police Force falsely reported in the social media that
the Plaintiff had been “shown the door”
claiming that he had attempted to interrupt the proceedings in the Legislature
by speaking from the gallery. The Crown knows if that were true it would have
been recorded in the legislative records. The words of Charles Leblanc an
important witness to be called to testify as to what he knows about this matter
are as follows “IS ELVY ROBICHAID SEEING THE LIGHT???? by Charles LeBlanc Friday, Jun.
25, 2004 at 10:56 AM Fredericton updates from Charles
“There’s
always undercovers cops around but only when the House is in session.As God as my witness I hope nothing happens
but it’s just a matter of time till someone is push over the edge. I guess a
guy name David Amos was shown the door yesterday at the Legislature. This guy
is running as an Independent candidate in the riding of Fundy Royal. I met the
guy over the net and he has a beef with our political bureaucrats. I admire
people fighting for what they believe in but you can’t get carried away. I
guess in this case? He wanted to speak from the Gallery and that’s a big faux
pas!”
29.The
Plaintiff states that he was not surprised that for the benefit of his
political opponents, servants of the Crown would practice such malice against a
citizen seeking public office. Three weeks before the Plaintiff was barred in
2004 Elections Canada’s lawyers waited until the very last minute to admit that
section 3 of the Charterexisted and that it affirmed his right
to run as an Independent.
30.The
Plaintiff states that he has studied the actions of journalists, politicians
and their lawyers for many years and has argued many. He has no doubt that
during the time of a federal election the Crown would not have barred any
member of a wealthy well known political party from any parliamentary property
in Canada without dealing with a Charter argument in court and a host of
journalists almost immediately. With that in mind the Plaintiff gathered the
evidence to support this claim and waited until the CBC reported that the Prime
Minister had asked the Governor General to drop a writ. Now history tells us
all that the writ has been dropped early in order for the Prime Minister to
cause the most expensive and one of the longest federal elections in the
history of Canada on a date mandated by a law that his wealthy political party
created for its benefit. Now that the stock markets are in a turmoil again the
Office of the Inspector General of the SEC is acknowledging the Plaintiff’s
emails but only after they were made aware that he received an ethical answer
from a global organization that oversees auditors. Recent events have proven to
the Plaintiff that it is important that he file this action in Federal Court as
soon as possible in order see if the Harer government wishes to continue
barring him from parliamentary property before polling day.
31.The
Plaintiff states that during the election of the 38th Parliament not
one of the employees of the CBC denied the fact that it had acted in a deliberate
partisan fashion and ignored the Crown Corporation’s mandate. CBC reported that
there were five candidates on the ballot in Fundy but failed to name the Plaintiff
in their website or on the television and the radio. Nothing surprised the
Plaintiff about the actions of the CBC but they should not have laughed at him
when he pointed out other citizens should be afforded equal opportunity to hear
of him.
32.The
Plaintiff states that many politicians knew that the CBC had hard copy of two
lawsuits of his since 2002 and their journalists had been laughing at him for
two years. It was a profound mistake for CBC to ignore his candidacynow that he did as he promised in a statement of
one lawsuit and was running for public office in Canada. As CBC continued serving
the interests of the politicians who provided the funding sourced from the
Canadian taxpayer other citizens noticed that the CBC was ignoring his
candidacy. One journalist who had laughed at him called back and tried to make
a deal after the Plaintiff had called the Ombudsman for CBC complaining of him
and his associates only to be laughed at some more and invited to sue CBC. CBC
continued to ignore the Plaintiff even though the popular former CBC reporter
Mike Duffy was now employed by their largest corporate competitor, CTV and they
claimed Fundy was a riding to watch and at least three newspapers and even the
CBC’s blogger friend Charles Leblanc had chosen to put his strange spin the
actions and words of the Plaintiff while calling him a Hells Angel. However,
the aforementioned CBC journalist did not keep his job very long after his boss
and three directors of CBC received the very same documents and CD that the
Plaintiff’s political opponents had in their possession. (The former CBC journalist
did get a job with the government of NB and has continued with his obvious
malice ever since)
33.The
Plaintiff states that the CBC would not have ignored its mandate and the
standing of a candidate if he or she were a member of the Liberal Party or the
newly merged Conservative parties or the Bloc Quebecois Party or the Green Party
or the New Democratic Party without expecting to deal with legions of lawyers.
CBC had no legal right whatsoever to ignore the Plaintiff merely because he was
an Independent. In fact the mandate of CBC as a publicly owned broadcaster
dictates that he must not be ignored whether he be a member of a powerful
political party or not. With regards to this complaint, on June 24, 2004 there
were many journalists inside the legislative properties of NB not just CBC.
They published nothing about the Plaintiff of his running for public office or
his being barred or even after their blogger friend, Charles Leblanc certainly
did.
34.The
Plaintiff states that in June of 2006 Charles Leblanc was also barred from the
same legislative properties but not the Public Documents Building on the UNB
campus. More importantly the Sergeant-at-Arms was clever enough not to sign or
date the English only document this time. Thus Charles Leblanc who usually
demands things in French from the government when he is in trouble was never
barred at all. The CBC immediately reported the barring of Charles Leblanc
falsely claiming that the Sergeant-at-Arms had signed the Barring Notice. CBC
wrote the Sergeant-at-Arms admitted that he had barred about six others but did
not disclose as to who they were. CBC did not ask who who the other citizens were
because they knew they would have to name the Plaintiff as well. Many people
have protested the barring of Charles Leblanc and a petition to have it revoked
was placed in the public record of the legislative assembly to no avail. In
2006 Charles Leblanc was arrested in Saint John and in 2011 in Fredericton. In
2009 and 2012 the FPF arrested their blogging friend Charles Leblanc on the legislative
properties. The CBC reported each time but failed to follow up and investigate
and report why the Crown refused to charge Charles Leblanc in both instances.
The CBC knows that as soon as the Plaintiff contacted the politicians and
police to remind them that he would appreciate being called to testify at
Charles Leblanc’s trial as a hostile but ethical witness about the barring
actions of the Crown it would never go forward with the charges. Leblanc was
arrested by the FPF two other times in recent years and he is on trial right
now. The CBC knows the
Plaintiff has talked to members of the RCMP, the FPF, the Saint John Police
Force, the Miramichi Police Force and the Edmundston Police Force who were
investigating Leblanc for various reasons since 2006. The police usually denied
knowing who the Plaintiff was as they refused to answer his emails. The
Plaintiff knows the reason why Charles Leblanc was barred from legislative
property. He agrees with the Crown doing so but it failed to allow the nasty
blogger the right to due process of law just like it did with and several
others. He has never understood why the Crown has not charged Leblanc under sections
300 and 319of the Criminal Code in lieu of arresting him
for protesting too loudly or possible child porn or trespass or punching an
equally nasty poetic beggar.
35.The
Plaintiff states that by the end of November of 2004 a lawyer in the employ of
the Attorney General of NB had answered him in writing and the FPF, two
lawyers, the Mayor and a city councilor of Fredericton had some very serious
email exchanges with the Plaintiff.The
only responses to the Plaintiff about the breach of his right to peaceful
assembly came from the (NBPC) on September 14, 2004 acknowledging his complaint
(File no 2110-04-11) and two letters byway of email from the FPF. On September
30, 2004 a Staff Sergeant of the FPF wrote that he was in possession of the
complaint and requested evidence to support the Plaintiff’s statement that he
had been barred from the legislative properties for “political reasons not legal reasons” The Plaintiff responded and
suggested that the FPF listen to the tape of the interview he had with the NBPC
and study all the evidence he gave to the NBPC in the presence of a lawyer as a
witness. The Staff Sergeant responded on October 29, 2004 stating that he had
detailed reports from fellow members of the FPF and he had interviewed the
Sergeant-at-Arms. He claimed that his fellow police officers acted
appropriately and he would inform the Chief of the FPF that he did not have
sufficient cause under the Police Act
to investigate the complaint the Plaintiff registered with the NBPC against the
FPF. The Plaintiff pointed out that the conflict of interest but grateful the
FPF acknowledged the incident. The Mayor of Fredericton found no humour in that
fact and sent the Plaintiff many emails within minutes no doubt in an effort to
overload his email account. In 2003 the Plaintiff had demanded the Crown
investigate the actions of RCMP now the RCMP should do the same with the Crown
because that para-military police force has jurisdiction everywhere in Canada
including all public and private property controlled by the Crown even military
bases. The words of the Sergeant-at-Arms, Commissionaires and police were
witnessed by only the Plaintiff. A legal action about their offences against
his rights under the Charter would boil down to their word against his. Evidence
was required because he was outnumbered and attacked by people the Crown employed
to understand the law. It was doubtful they would act ethically and until June
16, 2006 the Crown refused to put anything in writing to prove this claim about
the fact that the Plaintiff is barred from parliamentary properties.
36.The
Plaintiff states that the Crown is aware that far greater offences have been
practiced within the Capital District of NB by the FPF and the RCMP against the
Plaintiff. Many servants of the Crown have challenged him to seek relief in a Canadian
provincial court. The Plaintiff will not oblige Crown attorneys of thier
desires he will file in a court of a country at a time he chooses. Time is on
the Plaintiff’s side even though he getting old and was finally allowed to
collect his Canada Pension. His children and grandchildren are still very young.
Whatever was done against the Plaintiff was done against his Clan as well. All
of the Plaintiff’s heirs are Canadian citizens and two of them are American
citizens as well. The Crown, INTERPOL and the American law enforcement
authorities cannot deny that there is no statute of limitations on certain
crimes. The problem the Plaintiff is finding an ethical journalist to report
about the legal actions that he and the Crown have already been involved in
since 1982.
37.The
Plaintiff states that in October of 2004 if the Staff Sergeant of the FPF had
listened to the tape of his interview with the NBPC and studied the documents
they have in their possession he would not have been so quick to dismiss the
Plaintiff and his concerns in such a fashion. Their many lawyers hardly ever
allow corrupt police officers to admit that the Plaintiff exists or put their
malice towards him in writing. The Plaintiff had explained to the NBPC what
transpired on June 24th, 2004. To explain briefly the police should
have known instantly the Sergeant-at-Arms actions were for political reasons as
soon as he turned in the guest pass and picked up his documents as he stepped
outside the building. While
the Plaintiff was inside the legislative building he spoke to only three
employees two Commissionaires and the librarian. He did not interfere with the
proceedings in the House as he watched the MLAs and their assistants from the
gallery, some of whom he knew personally. He did notice political pundits in
the building. One Cabinet Minister’s assistant had been following him for a couple
of days. His political foes wanted him off the property immediately but they
knew that he was not shy of litigation if the Crown attempted to place a malicious
charge against him. Therefore they elected the Sergeant-at-Arms to try bully
the Plaintiff.
38.The Plaintiff states
that he satisfied himself as to the reasons behind the blatant malice once he
asked Sergeant-at-Arms and the police three questions as follows:
(1)The Plaintiff first asked was why he was being barred
from the legislative property. The Sergeant-at-Arms falsely claimed in front of
the police that the Plaintiff had tried to serve documents on somebody inside
the parliamentary building. The Commissionaires and police knew that was untrue
because they all witnessed the fact that the Plaintiff had left all the documents
in his possession with the Commissionaire at the entrance before he was allowed
into the building and they all watched him pick up the same documents as he
turned in a visitor’s pass after he was asked to step outside of the building.
(2)The second question was to the police to see
if they agreed to the false claim of the Sergeant-at-Arms and if they would
identify themselves. After the Sergeant-at-Arms said something quickly in
French and both police officers stated that they agreed with him but only one
would state his name and rank.
(3)The Plaintiff then asked the Sergeant-at-Arms and the
police if they thought they had jurisdiction over him. They all said yes but
refused to take any documents from the Plaintiff just as the Deputy Prime
Minister suggested.
39.The
Plaintiff states that three
people who were mentioned during the aforesaid meeting with the NBPC were
Charles Leblanc, Byron Prior and the most wanted American gangster Whitey
Bulger. All three were well aware of the Plaintiff and his actions. More
importantly the NBPC were made well aware of the RCMP’s knowledge of his
possession of many American police surveillance wiretap tapes. The NBPC were
shown the very same tapes that he had promised to give to the Suffolk County
District Attorney in the Dorchester District Court of Boston Massachusetts
before a hearing to discuss an illegal summons to answer a malicious unsigned
criminal complaint (Docket no. 0407CR004623). When the Plaintiff did so he was
falsely imprisoned under the charges of “other”.
40.The
Plaintiff states that an
NBPC Commissioner did ask if they should take the original wiretap tapes. The
Plaintiff said no and that the RCMP already had some but the NBPC could make
copies of the ones before them. The NBPC declined and said they did not have
jurisdiction over the RCMP and that they only wished to investigate why the FPF
had threatened to arrest him on June 24th, 2004.
41.The Plaintiff states that
read a few legal actions involving the NBPC. He truly believes that NBPC has a
mandate to oversee the actions of the RCMP in the employ of municipalities and
the government of NB. On April 12, 2013 an employee denied that the NBPC it has
any concerns with the RCMP, so he forwarded the NBPC a judgment with an
important statement. Whenever he called the NBPC afterwards she did not allow
him to speak to anyone and denied receiving any emails even though several were
published on the Internet. The judgment pertains to Miramichi Agricultural Exhibition Association Ltd. v. Chatham (Town)
1995 CanLII 3862 (NB QB). The statement reads as follows:
“Section 20 of the Police Act authorizes the Police Commission to assess the adequacy of
each police force and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and determine whether
each municipality and the Province is discharging its responsibility for the
maintenance of an adequate level of policing.”
42.The
Plaintiff states that in 2014 a confidential letter from the lawyer who is now
the chair of the NBPC was published by Charles Leblanc. Within the aforesaid
letter by a lawyer who was an officer in the Canadian Forces when the Plaintiff
was illegally barred in 2004 explained why he and some other unnamed lawyers
claimed that the Chief of the FPF and the NBPC did not have jurisdiction over
the legislative properties in order to investigate the wrongs of the members of
FPF under the Police Act. The lawyers
claimed that whereas the police were acting under the orders of the Sergeant-at-Arms
the immunity afforded them by parliamentary privilege would be undermined if
the Chief of the FPF and the NBPC upheld the law and the Charter.
43.The
Plaintiff states that as soon as he read the aforesaid letter he had a deeper
understanding as to why the NBPC and the FPF had ignored his concerns for ten
years and have refused to answer hard copy or an email or even come to the
phone or return a call for ten years. He did manage to talk the lawyer who
wrote the letter. The lawyer just like another lawyer who was the Chair of the
NBPC since 2004 was offended that the Plaintiff would dare to call his law
office instead of the NBPC. They both knew the reason was because every time he
called the NBPC, the Commissioners and their executive directors were never
available. They definitely did not return calls or answer emails from the
Plaintiff. The assistant who had denied receiving any emails during his last
conversation with her in May of 2015 said that NBPC was never going to talk to
him again. It appears the NBPC believe that parliamentary privileges extend to
them as well. Whether or not that is true the NBPC must agree that the RCMP have
no civilian oversight whatsoever and that it is the only police force that has jurisdiction
to investigate the actions of the Crown on parliamentary properties, the
Canadian Forces and their semi-retired cohorts within the Corps of
Commissionaires. It appears to the Plaintiff that the NBPC will not investigate
the RCMP and in return the RCMP will not investigate them. However, they do
report to the Crown and the Crown answers to the citizens it purportedly serves
and protects.
44.The
Plaintiff states that claimed parliamentary privileges of public officials are
not above the rule of law just because some unnamed lawyers deem it to be so.
Some of the privileges parliamentarians lay claim to cannot be found in the
Constitution or any other Act. They are implied by longstanding parliamentary
traditions and seldom challenged in a court of law.
45.The
Plaintiff states that claimed parliamentary privileges must not be exercised
secretly by the Crown against a citizen of an open and just democracy because
he visited parliamentary properties while exercising his rights under the
Charter and attempting to unseat its political friends. He vividly recalls the
last encounter with the Sergeant-at-Arms that caused the Crown to create a “Barring Notice”.
46.The
Plaintiff states that on or about March 24th, 2006 he went to the
Office of the Conflict of Interest Commissioner of NB to give him the same
documents he had promised the Commissioner of Federal Judicial Affairs, the
Clerk of the Privy Council, Independent MP Andre Arthur, Independent MLA Tanker
O’Malley and many others. The Commissionaire guarding door would not allow him
in the building or take the documents. The Sergeant-at-Arms must have been
notified because he was soon to appear and threatened to have the Plaintiff
arrested again. He asked why this time. The Sergeant-at-Arms said he had
already been warned to stay off legislative property. The Plaintiff pointed out
the fact that he was not on the legislative property across the street but if
the Crown wished to press false charges against him the police should be called
then he would look forward to arguing the Sergeant-at-Arms in a court of law.
The Sergeant-at-Arms claimed that they were standing on parliamentary property
but did not call the police.
47.The
Plaintiff states that he then informed the Sergeant-at-Arms if he thought he
had a legal right to bar a citizen from parliamentary properties he should have
the Crown put the reasons to do so in writing just like the NBPC had demanded
of him when he complained of the Sergeant-at-Arms and the FPF about their
malevolent actions against him two years before. There was no response from the
Sergeant-at-Arms to that simple statement.
48.The
Plaintiff states that he then asked the Sergeant-at-Arms in front of witnesses
if he still thought he had jurisdiction over him on King Street and the
response was yes. So the Plaintiff gave him the documents and a CD destined for
the Conflict of Interest Commissioner and demanded an answer in writing. The
Sergeant-at-Arms took the documents but refused to sign a receipt for them. He tried
to take picture but the Sergeant-at-Arms crossed King Street and around the
corner too quickly. The
Plaintiff received no answer from Conflict of Interest Commissioner about his
concerns. He called and emailed a copy of the cover letter to the
Commissioner’s office to see if it received his documents and was ignored. The
Commissionaire watching that day knows who took the documents.
Police Association being 'bullied' in misappropriation probe, says president
Dean Secord has called lawyer about concerns with Police Commission investigator in Fredericton officer case
Redmond Shannon · CBC News ·
The
president of the New Brunswick Police Association alleges his members
are being "bullied" by an investigator, who is looking into allegations
that a Fredericton police officer misappropriated funds from the
association while a member of its executive.

complaint against the Fredericton police officer after he paid an
undisclosed amount of money to the association. (Daniel McHardie/CBC)
Dean
Secord says he has contacted a lawyer about his concerns regarding
the investigator, who is working on behalf of the New Brunswick Police
Commission (NBPC) — a police oversight body.
"We are more
than willing to co-operate and we want to co-operate to put this matter
behind us, but we are not going to be intimidated or bullied to give
statements," said Secord, speaking on behalf of the NBPA, a lobby group
representing police officers at the provincial level.
"[This
investigator is] demanding certain items and we have a concern with his
demeanour in the way he's demanding this," he said.
Law enforcement obligated to co-operate
The
NBPC has been contacted by a lawyer, confirmed executive director Steve
Roberge. But he contends it was pertaining to evidence connected to the
investigation.
Roberge expects the investigation, which
was sparked by a conduct complaint about the unnamed officer by
Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch, should be complete in less than
six months.
"Our investigator will interview all members of
the NBPA executive, and if they are law enforcement personnel, then
they are obligated, under the Police Act, to co-operate," he said.
Secord says he still hasn't been contacted by the investigator. "And I'm the president."
Last
month, Secord said the NBPA would not be filing a criminal complaint
against the accused member, who is currently suspended from the
Fredericton Police Force with pay.
Secord said the decision was
taken after the officer paid an amount of money to the NBPA. The paid
amount is not necessarily the amount allegedly misappropriated, he said.
The
jurisdiction for any criminal investigation would rest with the RCMP,
because the officer lives outside the city of Fredericton, Secord
said. The RCMP have refused to comment on the matter.
The
NBPC says possible sanctions against an officer it finds guilty of
wrongdoing can range from a verbal reprimand to dismissal.
Suspended Fredericton officer pleads guilty to defrauding police association
Const. Michael Cook faced 2 charges, related to fraud and theft, but has only entered 1 plea so far

Chief Leanne Fitch initially filed a conduct complaint almost three
years ago against an unidentified police officer, who she suspended with
pay. (Facebook)
A suspended
Fredericton Police Force officer has pleaded guilty to defrauding the
New Brunswick Police Association of more than $5,000 — an indictable
offence that could come with a 14-year prison sentence.
Const.
Michael [Mike] Cook, 39, a former treasurer for the association, was
charged with fraud and theft over $5,000. He appeared in Burton
provincial court Thursday morning where he pleaded guilty to the charge
of fraud.
The
theft charge carries a sentence of up to 10 years. According to court
officials, that case has been set over pending an agreement of facts.
The
fraud is believed to have happened between Oct. 16, 2012 and Feb. 26,
2015. The theft allegedly occurred between Dec. 5, 2012 and Feb. 26,
2015.
Investigation launched
RCMP laid the two charges against Cook in Fredericton provincial court on Jan. 5, 2017.
An investigation was launched following an allegation of misappropriation of funds.
Police
Chief Leanne Fitch initially filed a conduct complaint with the New
Brunswick Police Commission against a then-unidentified officer, whom
she suspended with pay almost three years ago.
After the criminal
allegations emerged, the matter was forwarded to the RCMP and the
conduct complaint was suspended in order to not hinder the criminal
investigation.
Alycia Bartlett, a spokesperson with the
Fredericton Police Force, said in an email that the force was "aware" of
Thursday's court proceedings involving Cook.
"Any further
comment will be reserved until such time that court matters have
concluded, and sentencing has taken place," she wrote.
"Following
the conclusion of the criminal matter, a Police Act Investigation will
proceed, and we need to be cognizant not to impact that process in any

Cook's defence attorney, George Kalinowski, declined to comment Thursday afternoon.
His client is scheduled to appear in court again on July 19 for sentencing.

N.B. Police Association threatens legal action against police commission
N.B. Police Association demands removal of the police commission's executive director, Steve Roberge
CBC News ·

Steve Roberge, executive director of the New Brunswick Police
Commission. (Julianne Hazelwood/CBC)
The New Brunswick Police Association is
calling for Steve Roberge's removal as executive director of the New
Brunswick Police Commission.
While the police
association says it accepts an apology and retraction issued by Roberge
and police commission chair Ronald Cormier over statements the
association says were defamatory of the labour group's executive, the
association still wants Roberge removed from his position.
The association says it will take legal action against the police commission if the demand is not met.
At a news conference on Thursday, Dean Secord, president of the N.B. Police Association, said the leadership at the police commission is a problem and there is nothing but attacks on the association and its members.
"At
the end of the day, he's the only one who's running the law under the
police act. For him to come out and make the comments that he did, to
remain in that position, will be a joke," said Secord.
The N.B.
Police Commission is an independent oversight body that investigates and
resolves citizens' complaints relating to the conduct of police
officers as well as other aspects of police services in the province.
Demands made, apology issued
The
association had sent a letter to the commission on Jan. 18 threatening
legal action if it did get get a retraction, apology and removal. The
association said Roberge's defamatory comments had caused damage to its
executive members.
The apology and retraction came after Roberge
made statements to the media earlier this month saying the executive
was under investigation.
In the statement issued Jan. 18 by the
police commission and signed by Roberge and Cormier, the
commission said, "Any part of the statements to the media by Mr. Roberge
and any inference from those statements that the ongoing criminal
investigation is about the current Executive of the New Brunswick Police
Association or any of its current Executive members, including Mr.
Davidson, is false, incorrect, and untrue.
"To the knowledge of
the Commission, the only ongoing criminal investigation is respecting a
person who was a member of the Police Association Executive in 2015 and
not any present member of the Police Association Executive."
CBC News contacted the commission Thursday but no one was available for comment.
Fredericton police Chief Leanne Fitch being investigated by N.B. Police Commission
Nature of complaint that led to investigation by independent oversight body not being disclosed
CBC News ·
Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch is being investigated by the New Brunswick Police Commission. (CBC)
Fredericton Police Force Chief
Leanne Fitch is being investigated by the New Brunswick Police
Commission, the city's chief administrative officer has confirmed.
"I
can confirm that I have received a complaint against the police chief
and that the complaint has been handed over to the police commission for
followup and that they will be investigating," Chris MacPherson stated
in an email to CBC News on Tuesday.
"That is as much as I can say at this point."
The nature of the complaint that led to the investigation by the independent oversight body has not been disclosed.
Steve Roberge, executive director of the commission, declined to comment.
"As
you are aware, the commission does not comment on or confirm
investigations of police act matters unless they are proceeding to an
arbitration hearing or criminal charges have resulted," he said.
The
commission investigates and resolves citizens' complaints relating to
the conduct of police officers, according to its website.
It also looks into any other aspect of police services, including the review of police force adequacy in New Brunswick.
Force spokesperson Alycia Bartlett also declined to comment, citing the ongoing investigation.
Latest blow to force
The investigation comes on the heels of two officers being fired from the force in recent weeks — constables Cherie Campbell and Jeff Smiley.
And another officer is being investigated by the RCMP for alleged misappropriation of funds
while serving on the executive of the New Brunswick Police Association,
an organization that represents unionized municipal police officers in
the province.
Last week, Campbell, who was fired after a police
commission arbitrator concluded she intentionally took $20-worth of
makeup from Marden's Surplus & Salvage store in Houlton, Maine, on
Dec. 2, 2014, and used her position as an officer to seek favourable
treatment after her arrest, suggested officers have lost confidence in the leadership of the Fredericton force.
"I
believe that the present leadership at the Fredericton Police Force has
created a difficult, if not poisoned, work environment for the police
officers there," she had said.
During the same news
conference, police union president Cpl. Shane Duffy suggested fear of
reprimand among officers could put the public at risk.
"In this
environment we're in right now, I think most officers would think, it's
going to cause a couple of seconds delay, and think that this is going
to impact the rest of their career, if not end it," Duffy had said.
Fitch had
filed a complaint against Smiley after a domestic assault charge
against him was dropped because of a jurisdictional issue, as
the alleged assault involving his common-law wife, Kim Burnett, occurred
in Nova Scotia, not New Brunswick.
Smiley was subsequently fired
after an arbitrator ruled he breached four counts of professional
conduct standards for police officers — discreditable conduct by
committing domestic violence, counselling a fellow officer to not
disclose he had firearms in his possession, and two counts of improper
use and care of firearms.
Fitch has been the chief
of the Fredericton Police Force since June 2013, making her Atlantic
Canada's first female police chief.
Police association vows to fight 'heavy-handed' commission
Firing of second Fredericton police officer renews call for Police Act changes
CBC News ·

Davidson is a labour analyst for the New Brunswick Police Association,

The association representing municipal police officers in New
Brunswick is vowing to fight for changes to the authority of the New
Brunswick Police Commission after an arbitrator ordered Wednesday that a
second member of the Fredericton Police Force be fired for
discreditable conduct.
Arbitrator
Cedric Haines ruled that Const. Cherie Campbell be fired for
shoplifting $20 worth of cosmetics in Maine and for attempting to seek
favourable treatment from a fellow police officer. Campbell has said she
will seek a judicial review of the decision.
Any penalty is supposed to be corrective in nature, not punitive.- Bob Davidson, labour analyst for New Brunswick Police Association
New Brunswick Police Association labour analyst Bob Davidson calls the decision to fire Campbell "heavy-handed."
"The Police Act states very clearly … any penalty is supposed to be corrective in nature, not punitive," said Davidson.
"Our
opinion is that the arbitrator could have clearly looked at this and
said, `Well, there is doubt here and there are corrective ways of
dealing with this,' not heavy, punitive action."
Police Act review
Minister
of Public Safety Steven Horsman has initiated a review of the Police
Act and Davidson said the association will make its case for changes to
the committee carrying out the review.
Cherie
Campbell says she will seek a judicial review of an arbitrator's ruling
that ordered her to be fired from the Fredericton Police Force for
discreditable conduct. (CBC)
"Nobody can be
subjected to an environment where the prosecution selects, appoints, and
pays for the person you are going to be sitting in front of," said
Davidson. "That's where the rubber hits the road."
The
commission was established through the Police Act in 2005 and was to be
an oversight body, "not a judge, jury, hangman like is going on
now," said Davidson.
Stakeholders, including the police
association, used to agree on a list of possible arbitrators, but
Davidson said the commission has since started acting on its own and
appointing arbitrators without consultation.
"Now we have the New
Brunswick Police Commission selecting arbitrators, appointing
arbitrators, paying the arbitrators, which is totally unacceptable," he
said. "That is a denial of natural justice and it is, technically,
institutional bias.
Information Morning - Fredericton
Constable Fired
00:0014:49
We talk to Bob Davidson,
executive director of the New Brunswick Police Association about the
firing of a Fredericton police officer. 14:49"All
we want for our officers is a fair process, the same as the criminals
that they have to deal with have a fair process," he said.
Objection rejected
Davidson
made many of the same points when called to testify at the outset of
Campbell's hearing in December, when the police association objected to
Haines serving as the arbitrator in the case because of the lack of
consultation.

Haines ordered Const. Cherie Campbell be fired from the Fredericton
Police Force for discreditable conduct. (Catherine Harrop/CBC)
In his decision in the Campbell arbitration, Haines rejected Davidson's opinion that the police association is to be consulted on the list of arbitrators.
"The
duty and obligation to establish and maintain the list of arbitrators
is that of the commission and not that of the minister," states Haines
in his decision.
"I am of the opinion that the expectation to
which Davidson alluded in his testimony, and on which the respondent's
objection is based, is not founded in law," states Haines. "There is
before me no evidence establishing a clear, unambiguous and unqualified
basis for such an expectation.
"Moreover, the evidence on which
the respondent relies in support of her objection fails to establish any
lack of independence on my part, or that she will not be treated
impartially and without bias."

destined to your office his pal Tanker
Malley barred me in writing with an
"English" only document.

Federal Court that I

This
Judge understnds the meaning of the word Integrity
Date:
20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December
23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice
Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND
AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE
QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in
Fredericton, New Brunswick, on
December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks
an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to
the Federal Courts Rules
(SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November
12, 2015, in which Prothonotary
Morneau struck the Statement of Claim
in its entirety.
At the outset
of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a
letter dated
September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then
capacity as Past
President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian
Bar Association, and
the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg,
(now a Justice of the New
Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter
he stated:
As for your
past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the
work of Frank
McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you.
You are your
brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick
and a former
colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition
to
expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number
of
people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be
witnesses
or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known
to
me personally, include, but are not limited to the former
Prime
Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper;
former
Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court
of
Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore;
former
Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former
Chief of the
Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff
Sergeant Danny Copp;
my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court
of Appeal, Justices Bradley
V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired
Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang
of the Royal Canadian Mounted
Police.
In the circumstances, given the
threat in 2004 to sue me in my
personal capacity and my past and present
relationship with many
potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the
litigation, I am
of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias
should I
hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment
in
Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et
al,
[1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test
regarding
allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party
has
requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do
so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the
Administrator of
the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the
motion. There
is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard
Bell”
Judge
Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I
made one comment
already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I

Dear Mr. Specter:
I have been
asked to forward the enclosed tapes to you from a man
named, David Amos, a
Canadian citizen, in connection with the matters
raised in the attached
letter. Mr. Amos has represented to me that
these are illegal FBI wire tap
tapes. I believe Mr. Amos has been in contact
with you about this
previously.
Very truly yours,

for
sensitive and international investigations as well as the security
of
Canada's Prime Minister, Governor General and Parliament Hill.
In
2015, A/Commr. Tremblay returned to Headquarters as Assistant

This
Judge understnds the meaning of the word Integrity
Date:
20151223
Docket: T-1557-15
Fredericton, New Brunswick, December
23, 2015
PRESENT: The Honourable Mr. Justice
Bell
BETWEEN:
DAVID RAYMOND
AMOS
Plaintiff
and
HER MAJESTY THE
QUEEN
Defendant
ORDER
(Delivered orally from the Bench in
Fredericton, New Brunswick, on December 14, 2015)
The Plaintiff seeks
an appeal de novo, by way of motion pursuant to the Federal Courts Rules
(SOR/98-106), from an Order made on November 12, 2015, in which Prothonotary
Morneau struck the Statement of Claim in its entirety.
At the outset
of the hearing, the Plaintiff brought to my attention a letter dated
September 10, 2004, which he sent to me, in my then capacity as Past
President of the New Brunswick Branch of the Canadian Bar Association, and
the then President of the Branch, Kathleen Quigg, (now a Justice of the New
Brunswick Court of Appeal). In that letter he stated:
As for your
past President, Mr. Bell, may I suggest that you check the work of Frank
McKenna before I sue your entire law firm including you. You are your
brother’s keeper.
Frank McKenna is the former Premier of New Brunswick
and a former colleague of mine at the law firm of McInnes Cooper. In addition
to expressing an intention to sue me, the Plaintiff refers to a number
of people in his Motion Record who he appears to contend may be
witnesses or potential parties to be added. Those individuals who are known
to me personally, include, but are not limited to the former
Prime Minister of Canada, The Right Honourable Stephen Harper;
former Attorney General of Canada and now a Justice of the Manitoba Court
of Queen’s Bench, Vic Toews; former member of Parliament Rob Moore; former
Director of Policing Services, the late Grant Garneau; former Chief of the
Fredericton Police Force, Barry McKnight; former Staff Sergeant Danny Copp;
my former colleagues on the New Brunswick Court of Appeal, Justices Bradley
V. Green and Kathleen Quigg, and, retired Assistant Commissioner Wayne Lang
of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
In the circumstances, given the
threat in 2004 to sue me in my personal capacity and my past and present
relationship with many potential witnesses and/or potential parties to the
litigation, I am of the view there would be a reasonable apprehension of bias
should I hear this motion. See Justice de Grandpré’s dissenting judgment
in Committee for Justice and Liberty et al v National Energy Board et
al, [1978] 1 SCR 369 at p 394 for the applicable test
regarding allegations of bias. In the circumstances, although neither party
has requested I recuse myself, I consider it appropriate that I do
so.
AS A RESULT OF MY RECUSAL, THIS COURT ORDERS that the
Administrator of the Court schedule another date for the hearing of the
motion. There is no order as to costs.
“B. Richard
Bell” Judge
Below after the CBC article about your concerns (I
made one comment already) you will find the text of just two of many emails I
had sent to your office over the years since I first visited it in
2006.
I noticed that on July 30, 2009, he was appointed to the the
Court Martial Appeal Court of Canada Perhaps you should scroll to
the bottom of this email ASAP and read the entire Paragraph 83 of
my lawsuit now before the Federal Court of Canada?
"FYI This is the
text of the lawsuit that should interest Trudeau the most
83
The Plaintiff states that now that Canada is involved in more war in Iraq
again it did not serve Canadian interests and reputation to allow Barry
Winters to publish the following words three times over five years after he
began his bragging:
