"Upon receiving the complaint, the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner (OPCC) assigned the Vancouver Police Department to investigate," the statement continues.
"This week, the Vancouver Police Department Discipline Authority received new information about this complaint and has advised us that this officer will be suspended effective immediately."

"The Victoria Police Department takes allegations of misconduct seriously and fully supports the investigative process and this decision," the statement concludes.
