The commissioner’s office says in a statement the officer admitted to five allegations of misconduct under the Police Act related to the assault and harassment of the officer’s estranged spouse over several months
A disciplinary investigation found the officer’s misconduct included the assault, installation of GPS tracking devices, harassing behaviours and inappropriate use of police databases.In a separate criminal investigation into the matter by the Vancouver Police Department, the officer was charged and convicted of assault.
Retired provincial judge David Pendleton will preside as adjudicator of the review, which has yet to be scheduled. “The Commissioner noted that while the discipline authority correctly underscored the seriousness of domestic violence and the public’s expectation that those ‘sworn to protect the vulnerable from intimate partner violence must not engage in it themselves,’ those principles were not sufficiently reflected in the proposed penalties.”
