Capital Crime Writers presents “Observations of a Former Homicide Detective”.  The guest speaker is Dr. Gregory Brown, research fellow and retired police officer.  The meeting will be held on Wednesday November 13 at 7:00 pm at the Ottawa City Hall in the Honeywell Room on the second floor.  Please note that evening parking is currently free at City Hall.

Dr. Greg Brown (currently a research fellow at Osgoode Hall Law School, York University) worked on many of the most significant homicide investigations across the Ottawa region as a Detective-Sergeant in the  Major Crime Squad between 2002 and 2010 – including the kidnapping and murder of Barrhaven teenager Jennifer Teague (his experiences throughout this investigation were the subject of the 2018 season premier episode of CBC’s true-crime drama The Detectives), the organized crime assassination of cocaine kingpin Hussein El-Hajj Hassan, and the triple murder of retired Chief Justice Alban Garon, his wife, and the Garon’s next-door neighbour. Dr. Brown will share some of the most interesting aspects of these homicide investigations throughout this interactive presentation.
