OPP Officer Demoted After Slap Incident

An OPP officer, Mark Condron, faces a three-year demotion after slapping a female officer’s buttock during a charity golf event in June 2024—an act deemed workplace harassment under the Community Safety and Policing Act. Though he initially denied misconduct, the charge of undermining public trust was dropped. This marks his third disciplinary action in four years, following prior incidents involving alcohol, including forfeited pay and a demotion for careless driving. The arbitrator, Chris Renwick, acknowledged Condron’s sobriety efforts, including a seven-week inpatient program, and deemed rehabilitation possible—but still imposed the demotion, costing him over $50,000 in lost pay.
