Const. Sundeep Singh, who was a patrol officer, had been suspended with pay since February 2021, when the sexual assault allegedly occurred. He resigned Friday while speaking in an Ottawa courtroom, Ottawa police said in a news release issued Friday afternoon. The resignation was accepted and processed immediately,” police said. Details of the court appeal could not be immediately obtained. The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) charged Singh in October 2021 after receiving an allegation of a sexual assault on February 9, 2021. The SIU said it had allegedly occurred a few days earlier on or around February 5. According to Ottawa Police Board documents, Singh was one of the officers hired in the December 2017 class of 14 recruits. The police service said it intended to bring its own disciplinary charges and terminate Singh’s employment at a Police Services Act hearing.
