In Ottawa, a distinct minority of male Ottawa Police officers are famous for
using their official positions to gain sexual favours. It could be from providing perceived police protection, or bragging rights to having a cop on the side. It can also be a quid pro quo where officers remove a father out of the equation as a favour to a troubled mother who knows exactly what the officers expect.
The evidence is almost impossible to obtain but what can be proven is that officers do "revisit" females they encountered during the course of the on duty calls, without being able to provide any explanation as to why they months later, on duty, decided without any official reason to drop by and visit such a woman.
Ottawa Police Cst. Van T Nguen No. 952 is such an officer who admitted to such a visit but could not provide any official reason for "the visit".
Ottawa Police Cst. Van T Nguen No. 952 also fabricated evidence and obstructed justice to assist that some female months earlier. He coconspirators where Ottawa Police Cst. Wayne Samuel (Sam) Smith Badge No. 880 and a then Detective, later promoted to Sgt. Peter Van Der Zander.
