VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) – Email and Internet rules have been refined at the Vancouver Police Department after officers were caught looking at porn
An internal investigation earlier this year found fourteen officers and another police employee viewed and emailed pornography while at work. All of the members who took part are men.
None of the images or videos viewed were illegal, but it was a breach of the detachment’s online policy.
“Sanctions were imposed on officers ranging from suspensions, demotions, transfers, reprimands,” says Police Chief Jim Chu.
“There is a clear message throughout the organization that email and Internet will be used for appropriate reasons only,” adds Chu.
He calls this an unfortunate incident.
