More than a dozen women's advocacy groups say Ottawa's police force is betraying public trust by continuing to employ an officer who threatened to kill his ex and wielded a knife during an argument.Ottawa police Const. Yourik Brisebois, 43, pleaded guilty to two counts of discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act last week.

He was given a conditional discharge, meaning he'll have no criminal record if he abides by the terms of a three-year probation order. In his disciplinary hearing, Brisebois pleaded guilty to two counts of discreditable conduct.
