Summary

On September 4, 2025, SiRT received a referral from the Halifax Regional Police (HRP) regarding allegations related to the sale of stolen property, including bicycles and other property, by an HRP officer. Following an investigation, I have determined there are reasonable and probable grounds to believe that Cst. Fallon Sarah Clarke committed criminal offences.

On October 29, 2025, Cst. Clarke was charged with one count of breach of trust under section 122 the Criminal Code, one count of false pretence under section 362(1)(a) of the Criminal Code, one count of obstruction under section 129(a) of the Criminal Code, and one count of possession of property obtained by crime with a value over $5000.00 under section 354(1)(a) of the Criminal Code.

Cst. Clarke will appear before the Nova Scotia Provincial Court at 5250 Spring Garden Road, Halifax, Nova Scotia on November 27, 2025, at 9:30 a.m.
