Declan O'Connor

Declan Desmond O'Connor (b. 19 January 1966 in Vancouver) is a Canadian former deputy police chief. He served as a Deputy Chief Constable of the Lower Mainland Constabulary from 17 February 2007, until his arrest on 20 January 2017 on charges of corruption, money laundering, and conspiracy to murder; the subsequent trial, which lasted almost two years, proved O'Connor was a serving senior member of the Fighting Irish (considered Western Canada's most powerful organised crime group) from his time as a chief superintendent through his several promotions to the rank of deputy chief constable (approximately 1999 to 2017). He is currently serving a life sentence at the Millhaven Institution, a maximum-security federal prison in Lennox & Addington County, Ontario.
