Prince Albert, Sask. police officers vote non-confidence in Chief Bergen
Global News
The Prince Albert Police Association is calling for Chief Jon Bergen to resign or be removed after 95 per cent of officers voted non-confidence in his leadership.
The head of the Prince Albert Police Association says morale is declining and is calling for meaningful dialogue with the city’s police commissioners over the situation.
Sgt. Josh Peterson said an overwhelming majority of officers — 95 per cent — recently voted non-confidence in the leadership of Chief Jon Bergen.
“So really, I think the only option is for the chief to either resign or be removed,” Peterson told Global News.
It’s the second time in two years the association has voted non-confidence in their chief.
“Our members held a vote in June 2020 and the result was that 73 per cent of our members voted non-confidence,” Peterson said.
Now, Peterson is left wondering what more needs to be done for the board of police commissioners to step in.
“We reached out at that time to the board of police commissioners — the public’s board — and asked them to help us resolve these issues,” he said.
“They ignored us then, too and the result is that the number is now 95 per cent.”
