Two Lethbridge police officers have been demoted after admitting to using their positions for personal and political reasons.
CALGARY -- NDP MLA Shannon Phillips is calling for a special investigation into the actions of two members of the Lethbridge Police Service who tracked and photographed her in 2017.
Carrier sent a photograph of the meeting by text to Woronuk, who was the acting sergeant on duty, and Woronuk arrived at the diner a short time later. Photographs of Phillips' meeting at the diner were later posted to Facebook by Woronuk using the pseudonym 'Mike Corps'. The post included the names of all in attendance and including scathing criticism of Phillips and the NDP government.
"I did know there was dishonoured and discredited conduct among LPS officers targeted at me," said Phillips on Tuesday. "These revelations of someone tailing and targeting me are new, and it is disturbing."
