This is why people advocate for greater police accountability:
Former police officer goes to work at a sexual assault centre. Complaint rec’d that he forced resident of the centre into sexual relationship.
Who investigates? His former police service. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/lethbridge-victim-advocate-bill-kaye-1.5915889

The police service chooses to keep the investigation and chooses not to answer journalist’s questions.
When the story goes live, they demand changes. Without giving time for corrections/confirmation, Te police uses their media contacts to slam that journalist.

Only problem with that - journalists keep receipts and this isn’t @CBCMeg’s first day at work.

To make it interesting:
@CBCMeg has the correspondence from a different police force supporting her story. (Cop v cop always makes for a good plot twist, huh?).

So the @lethpolice can’t even get their story straight ABOUT the investigation but want the public to trust them WITH the investigation.
Ummm.

TL/DR: ex- @lethpolice cop goes to work at a sexual assault centre, gets accused of coercing a sexual relationship, @lethpolice chooses to investigate their retired cop, gets saucy about a story, @CBCMeg shows receipts, @lethpolice turns all crickets. https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/lethbridge-victim-advocate-bill-kaye-1.5915889
