An officer of the Estevan Police Service (EPS) is facing several charges following an investigation by the province’s police oversight agency.
Saskatchewan’s Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) revealed that a two-year member of the EPS has been charged with assault, uttering a threat to cause bodily harm and mischief under $5,000.
The investigation’s findings were laid out in a SIRT report dated Dec. 19 and signed by the watchdog’s Civilian Executive Director, Greg Gudelot.
The officer was arrested on the charges on Nov. 29.
The investigation began on the morning of Nov. 19, when an allegation of interpersonal violence involving a member of the EPS was forwarded by that police service to SIRT.
A "comprehensive and thorough" investigation was conducted, which included interviews with relevant parties and the seizure of physical and documentary evidence, according to SIRT’s report.
SIRT noted that certain details were omitted from its report as the matter is before the courts.
