It depends. If charged under s. 252(1) of the criminal code (fail to remain at scene of an accident), an accused can be found guilty one of two ways - summarily or convicted by indictable offence. If convicted of an indictable offence, the maximum penalty is imprisonment up to but not exceeding 5 years. If convicted summarily, the punishment involves a fine and/or imprisonment up to but not exceeding 6 months.

If convicted summarily, most likely the charge was reduced to a provincial statute.

As a cop, he is in a position of public authority, setting a public example for others to follow.

Treat the SOB like a pedophile priest, prosecute him to the full extent of the law, with much fanfare & pubilicity.
