Calgary police officer fired following sexual assault

An officer with Calgary Police Service (CPS) was fired after pleading guilty to sexual assault.

Constable Gurluv Singh was charged in December 2022 after an investigation by the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT).

According to ASIRT, Singh groped a staff member at Blondies Cabaret in October 2021 with a group of other off-duty officers.

Justice Adèle Kent took into account positive evaluations and Singh's guilty plea but said that anything short of dismissal would undermine public confidence in the police.

Singh was fired after serving a conditional discharge and one-year probation.
