The Canadian Press , 19 Nov, 2014 12:21 PM
    LADNER, B.C. — The conduct of a Vancouver police officer is being probed after police in Delta, B.C., determined he had consumed alcohol.
     
    Delta Police are now tasked with looking into the officer's actions under the provincial Police Act, at the request of the Vancouver Police Department.
