Belleville police officer ordered to resign for discreditable conduct

By The Canadian Press

A Belleville, Ont., police officer who was convicted of two Police Services Act charges has been ordered to resign.
The ruling made Friday by the hearing officer in Const. Eric Shorey’s case requires him to resign within seven days or be dismissed.
Shorey pleaded guilty to two counts of discreditable conduct at a hearing on Oct. 8.
The charges were laid after Shorey was found guilty of criminal harassment and breach of trust in 2013.
His trial heard Shorey used his police access to run 25 inquiries on secure databases 15 times between September 2010 and July 2012 to find information about his ex and her new partner.
He was also caught on video camera four times near the woman’s Prince Edward County home, sitting in his vehicle.
Shorey has been with the Belleville police service in 2007.
