O-8.1 - Act respecting police organization
Section 271
Disposition versions
271. This Act shall not be interpreted as restricting the administrative power of the employer or, as the case may be, of the director of a police force, to provisionally relieve a police officer or special constable of his duties, with or without salary, if he has reasonable cause to believe that the police officer or special constable has infringed the Code of ethics, committed and indictable or penal offence or a serious transgression likely to jeopardize proper performance of his duties.
Nothing in this section affects in any way the right of the police officer or special constable to contest the decision by way of a grievance or otherwise.
