Cop’s Anger Management Issues Not a Disability Requiring Accommodation

Police officers responded to a 911 call about an incident at a cop’s home. He attacked the officers, tried to take a gun from one of them and tried to flee. They had to taser him. As a result, he pleaded guilty to violating the Police Services Act and was fired. He appealed, claiming that the police department had a duty to accommodate his disability, i.e. alcohol and drug abuse and anger management problems. The court upheld his termination. It concluded that the cop, who had a history of anger management problems, hadn’t proven he was addicted to alcohol or drugs. And being unable to control your anger isn’t a disability [Gulick v. Ottawa (City) Police Service, [2012] O.J. No. 4621, Oct. 3, 2012].
