The president of the Vancouver Police Union has criticized the handling of a sexual assault case that ended in the suicide of a Central Saanich Police officer.

Ralph Kaisers says in a letter to members that was obtained by The Canadian Press that the “tragic loss” of the officer came after public statements that risked “undermining the presumption of innocence.”
