Agency Calls For Public Hearing Into Alleged Misconduct By B.C. Transit Office

The Canadian Press, 02 Dec, 2016 01:38 PM

VICTORIA — British Columbia's police-complaint commissioner has determined that a public hearing is needed into allegations of professional misconduct by a Transit Policeofficer.

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner says two allegations were made against Const. Edgar Diaz on August 11, 2011, and that one of them was proven, resulting in a suspension and training.

However, it says that during the investigation, other allegations against Diaz were raised and investigated, and that a public hearing must be held to determine what happened.

The office alleges that on or about August 10, 2011, Diaz used unnecessary force against a man and also issued him a ticket for drinking in a public place without sufficient cause.

A retired B.C. Supreme Court judge will adjudicate the hearing, but a date has not yet been set.
