Watchdog finds former chief ac
Former Vancouver police chief Jamie Graham acted with “disreputable conduct” by failing to ensure his officers co-operated with an RCMP investigation into claims of police misconduct in the Downtown Eastside.
Graham faces no disciplinary action because he retired in 2007, said Police Complaint Commissioner Dirk Ryneveld, who wrote the decision in August.
Graham told the CBC he did not agree with the findings.
The Pivot Legal Society alleged Graham failed to co-operate – or order his officers to co-operate – with a 2003 RCMP investigation into 50 claims of police misconduct against Downtown Eastside residents.
Delta Chief Jim Cessford led the investigation and found that it took some officers several months to agree to interviews. Nine officers were disciplined with “managerial advice” for failure to submit reports or attend interviews.
In his report (which has not been released, but is cited in Ryneveld’s decision), Cessford concludes that while Graham did not condone his officers’ lack of co-operation, he did not take all the necessary steps to ensure co-operation with RCMP.
Through inaction, Cessford concludes, Graham committed the Code of Conduct offence of “disreputable conduct.” Cessford would have recommended a penalty of “management advice,” but Graham is already retired.
