Police found several instances of “unprofessional” and “inappropriate” behaviour, Bond’s hearing was told Thursday. Bond told a woman who had complained of harassment from an ex-boyfriend who she said circulated a picture of her in a bikini that it was unfair that the detective had a picture of her in a bathing suit and she none of him. The woman offered to take Bond for a glass of wine when her case was through. When she asked for an update on the investigation, Bond said there was none but asked when they could get that drink. He also sent her sexual emails, the extent of which was not made public at the hearing.

Another woman sent Bond, as a police officer, a Christmas card. He responded by showing up in work clothes to her front door at 10 p.m. She was in her pyjamas, hugged him, but didn’t let him in. Bond later sexted her and solicited pictures from her. She sent him sexual images, which Bond said he liked. Emails between them became “solely sexual,” prosecutor Christiane Huneault said.

Bond told a third woman who reported threats against herself that he “has a thing for Middle Eastern girls” after he asked her to describe a sexual experience in detail. She sent him a picture of her breasts.

In 2014, after a witness to a break-and-enter emailed Bond her witness statement, he began sexually messaging her. Eventually he said he had to stop “sexting” her because he was concerned for his marriage.

Investigators also found that Bond offered ridealongs in a police cruiser to women he was attracted to. On one, he made inappropriate comments on what the woman was wearing. In trying to schedule a ridealong with another woman, he sent her a picture of himself in boxer shorts.
