Declan O'Connor

Declan Desmond O'Connor (b. 19 January 1966 in Vancouver) is a Canadian former deputy police chief. He served as an Assistant Chief Constable of the Lower Mainland Constabulary from 17 February 2007, until his arrest on 20 January 2017 on charges of corruption, malfeasance in a public office, money laundering, and four counts of 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 assistant 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.
