An Ottawa sergeant who booked dates with sex-trade workers and repeatedly breached policy by accessing confidential police records for personal reasons was given seven days to resign or be fired.
Sgt. Rohan Beebakhee, a 21-year veteran, was found guilty under the Police Services Act last year of three counts of insubordination, two counts of corrupt practice and one count of deceit.
In a lengthy decision on guilt, the hearing officer, retired chief Terence Kelly, found Beebakhee guilty of corrupt practices for accessing confidential reports on police investigations for his own advantage and requesting information from phone companies, flouting proper process.
Beebakhee phoned at home the lead investigator in Ottawa’s first successfully prosecuted human trafficking case asking for information about the investigation. When Det. Shane Henderson didn’t respond to his questions, Beebakhee gained access to the file.
He also accessed the private file of his then-girlfriend, a sex trade worker who was also involved in the case. Another time, he accessed a file of an investigation and sent parts of it to another police service.
Beebakhee, as a senior officer, is well aware that files are made private to protect evidence in an investigation and the people involved in it, Kelly said.
Between May 2011 and May 2012, Beebakhee requested phone subscriber information 17 times on numbers given to him by a man in the escort business, then ran checks on the names of the people assigned the numbers. None of those requests or checks was related to any police investigation, leaving Kelly to rule they were, again, for personal reasons.
Beebakhee has been suspended with pay since the summer of 2012.
