An RCMP officer in Alberta has been arrested and is facing four charges related to alleged intimate partner violence, according to the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT). The investigation into the accusations began in early July, with the officer, stationed in central Alberta, being arrested and charged on Tuesday.
ASIRT announced that the officer is facing charges of assault, uttering threats, unlawful confinement, and intimidation. In a departure from the norm, the police watchdog opted not to disclose the officer’s name to safeguard the victim’s identity.
The accused officer was released on an undertaking and is set to appear in court in the coming month, as per ASIRT.
