B.C. Government Revises Police Complaints Process
B.C. municipal police officers facing investigations by the complaint commissioner would no longer be able to escape discipline by simply retiring or resigning from the force, under proposed changes in the province's Police Act.
The officers will also be required to promptly co-operate with investigating officers or they can be charged with neglect of duty.
On Wednesday, Solicitor General John van Dongen introduced the legislation intended to strengthen the independent supervision of the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner and make it easier for the public to file complaints against police.
Among the new measures are stiffer penalties: the maximum suspension will increase to 30 working days without pay, from five days.
Officers cannot be compelled to testify at hearings into their own conduct, but they will have to provide statements and submit to interviews by investigating officers within five days of a request, or risk being charged with neglect of duty.
