Regina police Chief Farooq Sheikh suspended after public complaint
Social Sharing Regina Police Service Chief Farooq Sheikh has been suspended from duty after a complaint was made by a member of the public. In a Friday statement, the Regina Board of Police Commissioners confirmed Sheikh has been suspended with pay, as required under the Police Act. Details about the nature of the complaint were not made public. The board says the Public Complaints Commission is reviewing the complaint and investigating. "The Board of Police Commissioners takes complaints seriously and has a duty to protect public confidence in the Regina Police Service while the PCC investigates," a statement signed by board chair Yashu Bither said. The Public Complaints Commission is a five-person, non-police body appointed by the provincial government. Deputy Chief Lorilee Davies will be the interim acting Regina police chief while Sheikh is suspended. Bither says no further comment will be issued while the investigation is ongoing. The board will be updated by the Public Complaints Commission once it has completed its investigation, and the public will be updated after that. Sheikh was appointed as Regina's police chief on Dec. 1, 2023, after serving as the chief of the Alberta sheriffs.
