Sleping on the Job of The Day

The Surete du Quebec has launched an internal investigation after a video was taken that appears to show a pair of officers asleep in their patrol car.

According to the person who made the video -- which was made public through radio station NRJ 102.3 FM -- the squad car was parked on the side of Highway 40 between the exits for St. Maurice and Des Prairies, and did not appear to have anyone inside.

The videographer started filming as he walked up to the car and spotted two people lying down in the front seats.

Sergeant Guy Lapointe says the SQ was notified of the situation this morning and immediately launched a disciplinaty review.

The officers involved have been asked to file a written report, and investigators will talk to the person who made the video.
