‘Work to do’ in ensuring end to internal misconduct: Victoria police chief
VICTORIA — The chief of the Victoria Police Department says there is still “work to do” in the wake of a scathing report that found former chief Frank Elsner committed eight acts of misconduct while in office.
“The behaviour that was described in the final report is simply unacceptable in the workplace,” Chief Const. Del Manak told a news conference Friday.
Senior managers in the department will work with the police board and union leaders to identify and address all workplace issues that made Elsner’s actions possible, he said.
“How could this behaviour have occurred in our midst?” Manak said, questioning if the force did enough to immediately identify Elsner’s misconduct and take action to prevent it from happening again.
