Description

Toronto police have suspended an officer accused of leaking sensitive information about a potential security threat that led to a heightened police presence in downtown Toronto. The officer is alleged to have shared an "unapproved operational plan" with some Toronto media outlets on July 12, which included a warning about a possible vehicle-ramming attack.
