An Ottawa police officer has been suspended with pay after he reported his police gun stolen following what’s believed to have been a drunken evening in Kingston, the Citizen has learned.

Const. Christian Nungisa was suspended by the force last week, days after he reported to Kingston police that his personal vehicle and use-of-force options — including his firearm — had been stolen the morning after a night out in Kingston.

Before he left for Kingston, Nungisa is believed to have been on an annual training exercise during the week of May 2 for the emergency services unit, a volunteer officer unit that conducts ground and evidence searches among other things. All officers at the training would have had their use-of-force options with them. His force believes that Nungisa took those options — including his firearm — with him to Kingston instead of returning them to his Ottawa police station.
