Alberta RCMP officer facing four charges in alleged intimate partner violence case
Alberta's police watchdog reports that an RCMP officer has been arrested and faces four charges related to alleged intimate partner violence. The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has been investigating the allegations since early July, leading to the officer's arrest on Tuesday. Charged with assault, uttering threats, unlawful confinement, and intimidation, the unnamed officer was stationed in Blackfalds, a town approximately 140 kilometres south of Edmonton.
ASIRT has made an exception to not disclose the officer's name to protect the victim's identity. The officer has been released on an undertaking and is set to appear in court next month.
