Former Winnipeg police officer Elston Bostock, 49, awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to multiple charges, including voiding traffic tickets for liquor and gift cards, stealing cannabis, sharing confidential information, and selling drugs. A psychological report revealed a culture of ticket-fixing in the police service since 2003, which Bostock initially viewed as helping others. He also acknowledged a history of substance abuse, often drinking and using marijuana on duty. Despite his removal from the force, Bostock retains his pension.
