A Victoria police officer has been suspended after a complaint of misconduct.
The complaint was made earlier this year about the officer.
The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner assigned the Vancouver Police Department to investigate.
This week, Vancouver police received new information about the complaint and advised the Victoria Police Department (VicPD) that the officer will be suspended effective immediately.
“The Victoria Police Department takes allegations of misconduct seriously and fully supports the investigative process and this decision,” said a VicPD statement. “We are accountable to the citizens and communities we serve. We continue to support this investigation and further details cannot be shared at this time.”
