Former Calgary police officer charged with breach of trust and computer misuse

A former Calgary police officer, Brett Singer, has been charged with breach of trust and misuse of a computer system. The charges relate to his alleged use of police databases to contact women he met during police-related incidents. Singer, 51, is accused of pursuing personal relationships with multiple women from 2008 to 2023. He was suspended without pay in January 2024 after a complaint was filed in July 2023 and resigned shortly after. Police believe Singer has left Canada, prompting a nationwide warrant for his arrest. The Calgary Police Service emphasized the seriousness of the situation and the breach of trust involved.
