GTA police officer accused of working as realtor while on duty

A York Regional Police (YRP) officer has been charged with fraud over allegations he worked as a realtor during his scheduled hours with the police force.

Const. Jamil Saade, 30, has been charged with Fraud under $5,000 and is scheduled to appear in court on August 3. He worked in the City of Markham.

The charges come after a Professional Standards Bureau began an investigation into him during the spring of 2021. Investigators believe he spent some of his shift time doing realtor work.
