The Union of Canadian Correctional Officers (UCCO-SACC-CSN) welcomes the dismissal of the criminal charges against two of our members, who have been completely exonerated in the Matthew Hines case.
From the beginning of the proceedings, UCCO-SACC-CSN has supported its members by providing them with an effective defence and supporting them at all times through this difficult ordeal. “We are pleased with today’s outcome and wish our members all the best as they move forward from this,” says National President Jason Godin. “No correctional officer should be on trial for doing their job.”
UCCO-SACC-CSN wishes to offer once again its sincere condolences to the family of Matthew Hines.
