Durham Police Fights Back Against Officers' PTSD Claims
DRPS accused of obstructing officer PTSD claims, sparking backlash over WSIB challenges.
Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) in Ontario has been accused of fighting back against officers’ post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) claims to the Workplace Safety Insurance Board (WSIB). According to a CBC investigation published Jan 13 2026, chief Peter Moreira says the service only objects to about 10 % of WSIB claims since 2023, primarily to obtain more information, but the objections are seen as a hurdle to recovery. Six anonymous officers—whose names have been redacted—said they were left with 102 members currently off work on mental‑health benefits, yet their claims were still challenged. The six‑year report by the Ontario Civilian Police Commission, released Nov 12 2025, alleged DRPS “vigorously opposed” virtually every PTSD application. Medical assessments from CAMH and Trillium Health Partners were ignored, leaving officers feeling betrayed and delayed in returning to duty.
