PRINCE ALBERT – Update 10:16 a.m. Prince Albert Police Service say that Const. Dillon Husky has been reassigned to administrative duties during the court proceedings.
Original story: A Prince Albert Service Police Officer (PAPS) was charged on Sept. 27 with three counts of assault in two separate incidents.
The incidents Const. Dillon Husky is accused of were on July 1 and July 16. He will make his first appearance in Prince Albert Provincial Court on Oct. 26.
The charges are a result of the Public Complaints Commission (PCC) receiving a request on July 22 from the Prince Albert Police Service pursuant to The Police Act to open an investigation into the actions of a member of their police service.
The PPC investigates and reviews complaints against municipal police services. The commission is a five-person, non-police body appointed by the government. It is responsible for ensuring that both the public and police receive a fair and thorough investigation of a complaint against the municipal police or an investigation of a possible criminal offence by a municipal police officer.
PAPS welcomed Const. Husky as a new recruit in July 2019. According to PAPS, Cst. Husky was born and raised in Saskatoon and spent summers visiting the family cabin at Emma Lake. Cst. Husky has a degree in criminology from Simon Fraser University and spent three years working as a journeyman carpenter before joining the Prince Albert Police Service.
Cst. Husky is an avid outdoorsman, enjoys fishing, hunting and snowmobiling and volunteers with Delta Waterfowl.
Cst. Husky had said that training in Regina at the Saskatchewan Police College was far from easy, but he appreciates the opportunity and has learned a lot in his first few weeks as a front-line officer. Cst. Husky looks forward to learning more about the community and the important role of the police service.
“Every person you talk to says it’s the best job in the world,” Cst. Husky said.
