Corrupt Ottawa officer resigns from police force

A corrupt police officer who was ordered to resign or be fired back in June 2015 has abandoned his appeal bid and resigned from the force.

Sgt. Rohan Beebakhee’s resignation from the Ottawa Police Service was effective Feb. 16. The resignation signals the end of a policing career that was marred by multiple oversight investigations and allegations against the officer that first began to publicly surface in a 2008 SIU investigation.
