Former Winnipeg police officer Elston Bostock was sentenced to seven years in prison after an investigation revealed extensive corruption, including voiding traffic tickets for gifts and trafficking drugs. He accepted a joint sentencing recommendation after the judge indicated a longer sentence might be considered. Bostock, who pleaded guilty to multiple offenses, including drug sales and misconduct, expressed remorse during the hearing. Despite being dismissed from the force, he retains his pension, while three other officers face charges related to his actions.
