A West Vancouver Police Department officer has been dismissed for repeatedly calling in sick and then going to coach hockey instead.
The 2021 annual report from the Office of the Police Complaints Commissioner says an internal investigation found the officer had called in sick 25 times in four years between 2015 and 2019.
The officer resigned before he was fired, but the OPCC report says his employment records were amended to reflect his dismissal.
In a second hockey-related case, the report says a Delta police officer was reprimanded for verbally abusing a minor-league hockey referee and refusing to leave the ice at a December 2019 game.
