Sask. NDP call for ombudsman investigation into complaint against Marshals employee
The official Opposition has written to the province's ombudsman calling for an investigation into the Saskatchewan Marshals Service and the resignation of one of its employees.
Jordan McPhail, the NDP's associate corrections, policing and public safety critic, wrote the letter on Monday.
In a copy of the letter obtained by CBC News, McPhail said an investigation should look at the overall conduct of the marshal service, the conduct of the officer that was under investigation and the responsibility the minister has to the public and transparency involving the service.
"We want to make sure that the people of of Saskatchewan have a minister and a government that is being accountable and that is keeping public trust at its highest level in the policing services that they've created here," McPhail said in a phone interview.
McPhail said the ombudsman has the ability to restore public trust in the newly created marshal service.
