Longueuil Mayor Catherine Fournier asked Quebec Minister of Public Security Ian Lafrenière to launch an investigation into the Longueuil Police Service (SPAL), Thursday.

The request follows allegations of breaches by SPAL in notifying the police watchdog, Bureau des enquêtes indépendantes (BEI) following the fatal shooting of Nooran Rezayi, the 15-year-old high school student, in September.

In a press release Thursday, Fournier said she requested an investigation after learning about “several alleged breaches of the SPAL’s legal and regulatory obligations,” three weeks ago, in the email exchanges between BEI director Brigitte Bishop and SPAL chief Patrick Bélanger.
