She faced immediate reprisal for speaking out, and resigned in 2017. Kelly made it her mission to change Canada’s laws to protect future police whistleblowers. To try to silence her, the police service has continued to retaliate against her since her resignation. Stay tuned to find out why the police have spent over half a million dollars to try to silence her.
