Halton Regional Police say they launched an investigation into the eight-year veteran after receiving complaints from the service’s benefits provider.
“The officer has been charged with one count of fraud under $5,000 in relation to fraudulent submissions of benefit claims,” police said in a statement Thursday.

York police officer charged after insurance benefits misused
York Regional Police have charged one of their own officers after company insurance benefits were allegedly misused.
In July, the force’s Police Professional Standards Bureau launched an investigation of an officer in response to complaints from its benefits provider.
York police will not disclose any details about the allegations, and cannot provide the name of the insurance provider since the company is considered a victim. http://www.thestar.com/news/crime/2014/10/15/york_police_officer_charged_after_insurance_benefits_misused.html
