Sgt. Mayea agrees to a decision without a hearing in a case that stemmed from a 2011 incident. (Twitter)
Details of an "unprofessional" email between police colleagues that has caused a Hamilton Police officer significant "suffering" and "insurmountable" post traumatic stress disorder will not be made public.
Nor will a doctor's report on Sgt. Robert Mayea, whose Police Service Act hearing was delayed 20 times over four months for an issue that dates back to Nov. 2011.
Mayea is facing Ontario Police Act charges for violating code of conduct and corporate email policies from an email he sent back in 2011.
On Friday morning, Mayea decided to forgo a public hearing and let the Chief of Police decide his fate in a private disposition.
Hamilton Police lawyer Marco Visentini said "the allegations, and they are only allegations, are not before the tribunal because they are serious as defined in the Police Services Act, rather the matters were put before the tribunal because the Sgt. Mayea did not consent to a disposition without a hearing in respect to those allegations.
"The disposition without a hearing is not to be made public as it involves an employment matter," Visentini said in a brief teleconference hearing Friday.
Neither Mayea nor his counsel made any comments about the decision.
Mayea was facing Ontario Police Act charges for violating code of conduct and corporate email policies from an email he sent back in 2011. The contents of that email haven't been revealed publicly – but in a previous interview with CBC Hamilton, Mayea said it was a "tersely worded" complaint about harassment and bullying from higher-ranking officers with the Hamilton service.
"I'm suffering, and my family is suffering," he said. "The PTSD has been insurmountable to date."
On Friday, Visentini said the charges of insubordination and neglect of duty were withdrawn.
The veteran officer spent years working primarily on child abuse and sudden death cases. While awaiting the doctor's report to the hearing, defence counsel Brad Boyce said in January he was hoping to have the matter resolves noting that Mayea currently isn't being paid.
Mayea would not elaborate on why he is not being paid — officers facing police act charges in Ontario are required to be paid by provincial law.
Hamilton Police spokesperson Catherine Martin did not immediately respond to an inquiry regarding paid-suspension for Mayea.
