EXCLUSIVE: Toronto police sergeant facing misconduct charges for allegedly stealing fentanyl for personal use

A Toronto police sergeant compromised an investigation when he removed fentanyl that he planned to consume from a storage locker, according to documents released to Ricochet.

Sergeant Mark Kennedy’s alleged decision to remove the drugs without authorization, and steps the Toronto Police Service says he took to conceal his actions, are outlined in documents listing nine counts of professional misconduct under the Police Services Act. He is suspended with pay.

The charges are the latest in a recent series of allegations of illegal drug use, drug possession, and evidence theft against several local cops. Officer misconduct has impacted several criminal cases and raised questions about the integrity of prosecutions and the police service’s handling of dangerous drugs.
