A Nanaimo RCMP officer is facing a charge of breach of trust.
The BC Prosecution Service says the charge against Const. Mark Hilland was sworn on May 20 and it is related to an incident that occurred between July 2 and 3, 2024.
The prosecution service did not provide any details on the incident and says no further information will be released as the matter is before the court.
“The charges were approved by an experienced Crown Counsel who has no connection with the accused. The charge assessment guidelines applied by Crown Counsel in reviewing all Reports to Crown Counsel are established in the BC Prosecution Service Crown Counsel Policy Manual,” reads a news release from the BC Prosecution Service.
The officer will appear in court on June 17 in Nanaimo.
