STATEMENT FROM CHIEF STEVE WILLIAMS
re: sentencing of Constable Nicholas Doering 

UPDATE – LONDON, ON (September 21, 2020) – “I am aware of Constable Doering’s sentence today and have reviewed the decision. The circumstances of this case are tragic and difficult for everyone involved,” said Chief Steve Williams. “Effectively immediately, Constable Doering has been suspended from duty with pay. 

The matter has been appealed by Constable Doering.  The filing of the appeal has effectively paused the implementation of the conviction and sentence pending further legal review.  While this case remains before the courts I am unable to further speak to the particulars of the matter. 

Once the criminal process has concluded, the Police Services Act misconduct investigation will follow.”
