Sheikh Appeals Police Chief Termination | Montreal News
Description
Former Regina Police Chief Farooq Sheikh is officially appealing his termination after an investigation uncovered inappropriate conduct with a former police board member. The Saskatchewan Police Commission will hear his case in two sessions in September at the DoubleTree by Hilton in Regina. Though initial allegations—attempting to influence a contract vote and pushing to remove the complainant—were dismissed, the probe found significant lapses in professional judgment. Sheikh, who took the helm in December 2023 after a distinguished career in UK policing, was let go in October 2025. The commission’s decision could reshape his legacy and the city’s policing future.
