Harassment probe opened

CTV Vancouver is reporting that a sexual harassment complaint levelled at the Delta Police Department is being investigated internally with external oversight.

Sharlene Brooks told CTV News a third-party came forward with allegations of harassment and sexual harassment back in October, and Chief Neil Dubord responded swiftly by reaching out to the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner.

"They will get a full investigative report with the disciplinary authority's decision, and should there be any consequences or disciplinary action taken they will get a copy of that for their review," she said.

Brooks could not share any specific details of the alleged behaviour, but said the sexual harassment complaint involves "inappropriate comments and inappropriate jokes with sexual undertones."

Delta police would not comment on whether the allegations involve more than one employee.
