Extension Granted For Investigations Into Suspended Victoria Police Chief

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 18 Jun, 2016 12:04 PM

VICTORIA — Investigators looking into allegations of misconduct by Victoria's embattled police chief have been given more time to complete their work.

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner has extended the timeline for a series of investigations involving Chief Frank Elsner, who is accused of sending inappropriate Twitter messages to the wife of one of his officers.

The reviews were scheduled to be done by Saturday, but investigators asked for more time and now have a new deadline of Sept. 16.

Elsner stepped aside from his duties last December pending the results of two investigations into his conduct, but was suspended in April after yet another investigation was announced.

The third investigation was launched when new information surfaced containing allegations of false statements and the deletion of data, with deputy police complaint commissioner Rollie Woods saying Elsner faces 11 allegations of misconduct.

The allegations have not been tested in court.
