Edmonton’s police chief says he’s confident few - if any - additional disciplinary hearings will be jeopardized due to a technical glitch that nixed three others.
Chief Mike Boyd told reporters last night that a 2006 human error that affected eight hearings was soon rectified. He said a ninth hearing could have also been compromised, but stressed that hasn’t been confirmed.
The mistake occurred following a temporary change in the scheduling process in 2006, Boyd said. Changing a 90-day system into a three-month one pushed up the clock by 18 hours, causing some officers to miss extension hearing deadlines. “Thank goodness we changed the process just shortly after that to satisfy ourselves there wouldn’t be any problem around that,” Boyd said outside Edmonton Police Commission chambers.
