HALIFAX — A Halifax police officer has been accused of voyeurism while on duty, a criminal allegation that has undermined public trust in the force, Police Chief Jean-Michel Blais said in a statement released late Wednesday. “Any time a police officer is charged with a criminal offence, it is disconcerting, not just for our employees, but also the citizens and communities we serve,” Blais said. George Farmer was also charged with trespassing by night and breach of trust on Wednesday, following an investigation of an internal complaint involving several alleged victims. The officer has worked with Halifax Regional Police for 11 years, and represented the service in the 2017 Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo. “Anyone that was witness to this offence, that’s part of the criminal investigation and I’m not going to get into (that) today,” he said.
