Myron Demkiw’s move comes after what a statement from his office calls the ”adverse comments” made by the trial judge after Umar Zameer was found not guilty in the death of Detective Constable Jeffrey Northrup nearly 3-years ago.

Not to mention Zameer’s lawyer’s allegations that the officers who testified, lied on the witness stand.

Shortly after the verdict, Chief Demkiw said the police service had hoped for a ”different outcome.”

 

 

Part of a statement released from the police chief’s office late Monday afternoon includes this:

”I respect the judicial process and I accept the decision of the jury. Perhaps closure in a tragic event of this magnitude will come with time. As Chief, I was acknowledging the emotions many of us were feeling, while struggling with the death of a fellow officer, but of course, closure can never come at the expense of justice,” said Chief Myron Demkiw.
