Controversy
An unnamed adult female lodged a complaint with the service in 2018 alleging that on multiple occasions, she had engaged in sexual activities with an officer in his police vehicle while on duty. She further alleged that on multiple occasions, the officer ignored requests for back-up from other officers over the radio so that they could continue their assignations. In her complaint, she also claimed that he was not the only officer she had sexual encounters with, while on duty in police vehicles. The service announced it had launched an internal investigation for discreditable conduct.[7][8]
