Saskatchewan Marshals employee investigated after complaint is no longer with police force
In April, the service confirmed one of its members was the subject of a complaint being investigated by the Public Complaints Commission (PCC), a five-person civilian body appointed by the provincial government that investigates and reviews complaints against police.
The service said the member had been put on administrative leave as the investigation was being carried out.
"The member in question chose to voluntarily end their employment with the [Saskatchewan Marshals Service]," Cara Burrows, the director of communications for the service, said in an email.
Details on the nature of the complaint were not released in April and not provided on Thursday.
On Wednesday, the PCC confirmed it had completed its investigation. It said it provided the results to the Marshals service, as required by Saskatchewan's Police Act.
Burrows confirmed the service had reviewed the PCC report. She said the service takes allegations involving member conduct seriously, but would be unable to "provide further information due to privacy and personnel matters."
The public will not be informed about the former employee's identity, the nature of the allegations or the result of the investigation.
The Saskatchewan Marshals Service swore in its first class of recruits at the end of April and began operations in May.
Marshals are expected to focus on rural crime, finding high-risk offenders and people with outstanding warrants, and assisting RCMP, First Nations and municipal police services.
Investigation into Regina Police chief ongoing
The PCC also confirmed its investigation into a complaint against Regina Police Chief Farooq Sheikh is still ongoing.
Sheik has been suspended with pay, as required under the Police Act, since April after a complaint from the public.
Details about the nature of the complaint have not been made public.
