Ronald Tisdelle, 32, was charged with operation while impaired with a blood alcohol concentration 80 plus.
He’s been a member of York Regional police since 2018 and is currently suspended with pay.
“This is very disappointing,” said Chief Jim MacSween in a release Monday.
“York Regional Police takes a firm stance against impaired driving. The alleged actions of this officer do not reflect the values of our organization or the professionalism demonstrated by our members each and every day.”
