An Ontario police watchdog has upheld the firing of a female Toronto police officer who was terminated after launching a “libellous” online campaign about workplace sexual harassment and racism inside the service — a decision the ex-officer maintains she’ll fight.
In a written ruling, the Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC) tossed ex-cop Firouzeh Zarabi-Majd’s appeal of her rare firing, upholding the decision to terminate her for “reprehensible” comments made on social media and dismissing concerns it could have a chilling effect on whistle-blowing within policing.
