Former Edmonton police officer charged with breach of trust
Staff Sgt. Bill Clark speaks to the media in Edmonton on Saturday, March 1, 2014.
A former Edmonton Police Service (EPS) officer is facing charges for unlawfully sharing confidential and investigative information to media outlets.
Staff Sergeant William (Bill) Clark was charged with breach of trust on Tuesday, EPS said in a news release.
The investigation has oversight from the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) and was reviewed by the Alberta Crown Prosecution Services in Calgary to determine if charges were warranted, EPS said.
With the case before the courts, EPS says it can't provide additional information during the investigation.
Clark was a member of EPS for 44 years and retired in May 2024.
