Recent Deaths

The force has suffered two high-profile deaths officer in the line of duty in recent years. Constable Valerie Gignac, 25, was shot and killed shortly after arriving on the scene of an argument in Laval-Des-Rapides on December 14, 2005. The suspect, Francois Pepin, had a history of mental illness and owned a hunting rifle, despite the fact he was under a firearms ban. He was known to police and had been charged before the incident with stalking another female constable. He was charged with first-degree murder in accordance with Canadian law, which stipulates this as the automatic charge in response to killing a police officer, and is awaiting trial. On March 2, 2007, the force suffered a second loss when Constable Daniel Tessier was killed while executing a drug raid in the city of Brossard. Tessier was a 17-year veteran of the force who had joined the drug squad a few days prior to his death. His alleged killer, Basil Parasiris, was charged with first-degree murder but maintains that he was unaware it was a police raid and was acting in self defence.
