The B.C. Prosecution Service says no charges have been approved following alleged use of force by a Kamloops RCMP officer.
The prosecution service said Thursday (Jan. 23) that it was concluded that the available evidence doesn't meet the charge assessment standard, and there is no substantial likelihood of conviction for any criminal offence.
The incident, which involved a collision with a suspect on a bicycle on Dec. 3, 2021, was investigated by the Independent Investigations Office of B.C. Following the investigation, the chief civilian director determined there were reasonable grounds to believe the officer may have committed offences.
The B.C. Prosecution Service has released a statement explaining the reasons for not approving charges.
More to come.
