Police Det. Helen Grus Penalty Hearing Today! Guilty of Discreditable Conduct for Asking Questions RE: COVID Vaxx and Infant Deaths! Also Det. Grus Documentary Premieres Tonight!
Tonight I'm heading to Ottawa for the premiere of "Silencing Detective Grus" a documentary outlining the story of courageous Police Detective Helen Grus.
Also starting today in just a few hours is Det. Grus penalty hearing which will determine the punishment she will receive after asking questions regarding the COVID jab and an increase of infant deaths in Ottawa. We have been waiting for this hearing since she was found guilty last year of discreditable conduct. Needless to say it's a busy and important week for Det. Grus!
On the documentary website, www.grusjusticeproject.org, they describe the film: "Det. Helen Grus uncovered an unusual cluster of infant deaths and asked questions that pointed to powerful interests. For doing her job, she is now being persecuted in Canada's longest and most costly police disciplinary hearing. Her case will determine whether police officers must first seek permission to investigate public officials...or whether they remain free to act on evidence...the outcome will shape the future of policing in Canada."
This is absolutely true. I encourage you to follow the documentary website to see the trailer and details on future showing dates.
Det. Grus made waves and headlines in Canada for being investigated and found guilty of discreditable conduct for apparently raising questions about an increase in sudden infant deaths (SUDI) after the COVID-19 vaccine rollout, and wondering whether the two are linked.
According to Helen, she saw evidence indicating infant deaths were tripling, and she took steps to look into it further. As a police officer responsible for investigating sexual assault and child abuse crimes, it was part of her job to investigate unexplained deaths of children under 5.
The penalty hearing will stretch from today until Thursday and will determine her punishment.
Further, former police officer Donald Best also reported on X that credible sources revealed to him that Ottawa Police command officers are pushing new internal charges against Det. Grus for her appearance in the documentary! Others are advising them to leave this alone. We will see if this is true, but Det. Grus story is not over!
Detective Grus is a brave and principled Detective who attempted to follow the evidence, and many believe she is being penalized for it. In fact, this disciplinary proceeding has cost Detective Grus roughly $400,000. Please click below to support her case, and her courage today.

Detective Helen Grus has been a police officer for 23 years. From 2016, she was a detective in the Sexual Assault and Child Abuse Unit with the Ottawa Police Service, Det. Grus observed an increase in infant deaths following the introduction of the COVID-19 vaccines. As a result, Det. Grus began a probative inquiry which included accessing reports held in the police database and, in one instance, contacting the parents of a deceased child to enquire about the mother’s vaccination status.
As part of the SACA (Sexual Assault Child Abuse) unit, their mandate is to investigate all sudden and unexpected child deaths of children under the age of five. These investigations are crucial and mandated by law.
According to Detective Grus (and other witnesses), police access the records system frequently, and are able to initiate investigations on their own, therefore she feels this investigation and charge against her are unnecessary and unwarranted.
Shortly after the COVID rollout in January 2022, a colleague of hers told her: "I don't know what's going on but we've had a doubling/tripling of baby deaths in SACA". This was significant and concerned both Detective Grus and her colleague.
Later that week in January 0f 2022, she had a town hall meeting scheduled with the police chief and others related to the vaccine mandates that were coming down for the police force on January 21st, 2022. The increase in baby deaths was on her mind, and Detective Grus went into the record system to see if the increase was true. She knew there were typically 2-3 SUDI (sudden infant deaths) deaths annually that the police investigated. In 2021 there were 7 cases. She wanted to go through the records to look at the circumstances of the deaths so she could be prepared to raise the issue at her upcoming meeting.
She mentioned the increase at her meeting with the Chief, and advised that while she was unsure of what the cause was, one variable that was new was the COVID vaccine rollout.
The next week she was listening to a Toronto Public health meeting where Dan Hartman spoke, and he spoke of his son Sean Hartman, who a month after receiving the Pfizer vaccine ended up dead. She says the autopsy results for Sean showed he had myocarditis and an enlarged heart. This reminded her of an autopsy on a baby who also had an enlarged heart. She reached out to the detective covering that case to ask if the mother had the COVID shot. The detective said he had not asked, and dismissed the concerns.
She also noted that two babies died in a way she had never seen before in her 20 year career. Two parents had picked up their babies to feed them, and they died in their arms. She says this sent shivers down her spine.
On Jan 31, 2022, the day before Det Grus was about to be sent home on leave without pay (for the vaccine mandate) she had a short conversation with the father of the baby with the enlarged heart where she inquired about the mother's vaccine status. Three days later she was told she was being suspended for accessing police records for "personal reasons". She made it very clear she was accessing it to gather statistics to bring to her meeting with the Chief and other executive members, but that made no difference.
Detective Grus' lawyer believes rumours were circulated alleging she used the police records database for personal reasons, which culminated in a suspension on allegations of insubordination. In March of 2022, confidential information was leaked to CBC and the smear campaign continued. Her lawyer calls it a "pack of lies". When the investigator spoke to Detective Grus in the spring of 2022 she says she was told she was being charged with discreditable conduct based on what was written in the CBC articles!
In my opinion, this investigation makes no sense. Detective Grus raised questions that could have implicated various government agencies, and the entire vaccine rollout, and it seems the department wanted no part of this politically charged situation. In the opinion of many, they preferred to punish and silence Detective Grus instead of doing the appropriate investigations.
The website policeonguard.ca explains their position on the Police tribunal which convicted Det Grus of discreditable conduct: "[the] Police Services Act Tribunal is much different from a criminal or provincial court, so much so that in policing jargon and inner circles it’s often referred to as a “kangaroo” court. The arbiters of the court are members of the very organization that have accused the defendant of wrongdoing."
Detective Grus' name and reputation have been irreparably damaged, and she has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars defending herself these past few years through this so-called "kangaroo court".

As I was told by Det. Grus' lawyer, Bath-sheba van den Berg, she attempted to submit multiple affidavits in her favour in an attempt to mitigate the penalty. There were a huge number of positive affidavits from people all over Canada. Part of the determination of penalty involves assessing the public perception of the police service, and so Det. Grus brought in many affidavits from members of the public. As I was told, the prosecution attempted to exclude this evidence.
According to Bath-sheba, when the tribunal found Det. Grus guilty of discreditable conduct in March 2025, and "that decision was replete with errors of law, errors of mixed law and fact, and misapprehension of the evidence. Conclusions are being made...that aren't even based on evidence on the record. It's incredibly concerning."
As stated by Donald Best, a former police officer on the website Police on Guard for Thee:
"The case of Detective Helen Grus is no longer just about one officer. It is about whether police in Canada remain free to follow the evidence wherever it leads – or whether politics now dictates which crimes can be investigated, and which cannot.
The Tribunal’s written decision has established a dangerous and far-reaching precedent: that police officers must seek permission before investigating potential crimes involving government officials or matters with “political and societal ramifications.” This strikes at the very heart of police independence and the rule of law."
This needs to end. Please support Det. Grus in her fight to maintain her reputation, and fight for police independence in conducting inquiries and investigations.
God bless!
