Incident Description
Goss was subject to a 2010 disciplinary hearing and found guilty of two counts of discreditable conduct. Goss became impaired by drinking at a restaurant while off-duty. He was warned not to drive by the restaurant staff, yet did so anyways. When his vehicle and license plate were phoned in to EPS as a potentially impaired driver, he lied that he had been home all night when contacted by a superior officer. Goss was demoted from Sergeant to a 5th Year Constable, a financial equivalent of $30,000. Goss's wife and fellow EPS officer, Fay Goss, also faced a disciplinary hearing in 2013, regarding a post she made on the Edmonton Police Association's Facebook page regarding the outcome of her husband's disciplinary hearing, as well as an email sent to the Chief of Police in contravention of an order to not send any further inflammatory emails.. She was found to have committed discreditable conduct and insubordination and was given a 12 hour suspension without pay.
