There will be difficult days ahead as the Ottawa Police Service mourns the loss of a well-known officer and 22-year veteran who took his own life Sunday, Chief Charles Bordeleau told reporters.
Mike Carroccetto / Postmedia News Ottawa police chief Charles Bordeleau speaks to reporters at police headquarters in Ottawa on Sunday. One of his senior officers, Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban, committed suicide in his office.
Staff Sgt. Kal Ghadban, 43, was found dead in his office Sunday shortly after 1 p.m. at the city police headquarters on Elgin Street. Police believe he used his service-issued firearm to end his life.
“He was a dedicated police officer, committed to his community,” Bordeleau said in the lobby of the Elgin station on Sunday night, flanked by deputy chiefs Ed Keeley and Jill Skinner and director general Debra Frazer. “The media and the community know him very well. He spoke passionately about policing and he was loyal to the Ottawa Police Service and we mourn his loss.
“It’s important that as a police service and a community that we come together to support Kal’s family and his colleagues.”
Ontario’s civilian police watchdog, the Special Investigations Unit, which investigates incidents of death, serious injury or sexual assault involving officers, is now investigating, and beginning to piece together answers to questions that plague Ghadban’s family, friends and colleagues.
Ghadban’s death came the same day as the Canadian Police and Peace Officers Memorial was being held on Parliament Hill. The national memorial is held annually to honour officers killed in the line of duty.
