Delta police are investigating a Vancouver police officer accused of driving drunk in their jurisdiction earlier this month.

A Vancouver police officer is under investigation for allegedly drinking and driving while off duty in Delta earlier this month, reports CTV Vancouver.

Delta police said the officer failed a roadside alcohol screening after being pulled over on Nov. 6. When they realized the officer worked for the Vancouver Police Department, Delta police notified the other jurisdiction.

The VPD referred the incident to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner, and VPD Chief Constable Jim Chu requested that the Delta Police Department conduct the investigation.

The accused officer was issued a 90-day immediate roadside prohibition and a 30-day vehicle impound at the scene of the incident. The officer’s name has not been released.
