- Her dangerous driving trial is scheduled for June 2027.

## Summary

Canadian police officer Laurie Perks is accused of driving her Audi SUV onto a pavement to get around a Christmas parade in Innisfil, Ontario, in November 2025. Prosecutors say she was impatiently waiting behind the parade; the case has drawn attention because the alleged driver was a long-serving officer in the same force that investigated the incident.

Footage reportedly showed the vehicle mounting the curb, crossing a pedestrian crossing and driving over a green trail. No pedestrians were struck. Perks, 54, has worked in policing for nearly 30 years and is due to stand trial on dangerous driving charges in June 2027; she remains employed by York Regional Police. A separate charge over an earlier crash was withdrawn, while a past workplace complaint led to no disciplinary action.
