While it hasn’t provided any details on the nature of the alleged offences, it confirmed the allegations were made against an RCMP officer from the Morinville detachment and another from the Westlock detachment.
After the investigation, ASIRT said, the evidence gathered “provided reasonable grounds to believe that an offence had been committed.”
The results were then forwarded to the Alberta Crown prosecutors office (ACPS) and after deciding the evidence met the standard for prosecution, ASIRT determined the officers should be charged.
On Aug. 27, Sgt. Daniel Mayowski from the Westlock detachment and Sgt. Sheldon Robb from the Morinville detachment were each charged with breach of trust under section 122 of the Canadian Criminal Code, which provides a penalty of up to five years in prison if the person is found guilty.
The two men were released with a notice to appear in court again in early October.
