$242,000 A year, not a bad gig, no wonder he is suing them for losing his job, I'd do the same.


A former Ottawa police civilian executive is suing his former employer for upwards of $2.7 million, claiming he was unfairly dismissed last year after an anonymous email alleged he wasn't paying taxes on a take-home vehicle.

In the lawsuit, former chief administrative officer Jeff Letourneau alleges he was offered a vehicle at the start of a new job at the force, and used it transparently during a later contract dispute about the vehicle.

The document casts a shadow on the inner workings of the police force, mentioning a now-retired inspector's alleged medical leave and harassment complaint following a clash with then chief of police Peter Sloly (who resigned last month amid accusations of bullying and volatile behaviour).

And Letourneau suggests his dismissal was at least partially motivated by the friendship between then police board chair Coun. Diane Deans and a now-retired police inspector, whom Letourneau had sour dealings with. He also insinuates that inspector could have been the source of the anonymous email that led to his termination.
