Victoria Police Chief 'Humiliated Beyond Words' For Twitter Messages To Subordinate's Wife

Darpan News Desk The Canadian Press, 07 Dec, 2015 11:50 AM
    Victoria's police chief says he is "truly sorry and humiliated" for engaging in direct messages with a woman over Twitter.
     
    Frank Elsner says an investigation that concluded last week found there was no inappropriate relationship, but he takes full responsibility for engaging on social media.
     
    Members of the Victoria and Esquimalt Police Board met on Friday to review an internal investigation and expressed their full confidence in the chief. 
     

    Board spokeswoman and Esquimalt Mayor Barbara Desjardins says an independent lawyer was hired to probe the complaint after a concern was raised in August involving a potential relationship.
     
    Desjardins says she and her co-chair, Victoria Mayor Lisa Helps, reviewed the lawyer's findings to make a discipline decision and then informed the board.
     
    She says few details will be released about the allegations or the board's final decision on discipline for Elsner.
