Police Accountability Files – Episode 20: Guelph, OntarioOfficer on Paid Leave Since 2016
How can apolice disciplinary case stretch across nearly a decade—and howmuch does it cost taxpayers?
In Episode20 of Police Accountability Files, host Special Ed examinesthe case of Guelph Police Constable Corey McArthur, whosedisciplinary proceedings began after he elbowed a handcuffed17-year-old boy at a hospital in September 2016. McArthur pleadedguilty to criminal assault and discreditable conduct, and theincident led to years of hearings and appeals.
In July2026, a second disciplinary hearing ordered McArthur to resign orface dismissal. He appealed that decision, continuing a case that hasraised serious questions about police accountability, public trust,and the cost of lengthy disciplinary proceedings.
