The West Vancouver Police Department's commander said their review of a Prince George Tasering incident wouldn't come to a close for several weeks at least.
Chief Const. Peter Lepine was in Prince George for law enforcement meetings this week. He took time to assure the public the matter was active but "there isn't much of an update" since a couple of key elements are in the analysis phase.
An expert in the police's use of force was reviewing the incident's details, and before the report could reach any conclusions it had to be studied by legal counsel to determine the full range of legal options in addition to internal RCMP discipline that might be taken.
"We are still held to a principle - and we are sensitive that the community wants a timely investigation - of fairness, transparency and that no stone is left unturned," Lepine said.
West Vancouver police were asked, as an outside investigative body, to check out the Prince George RCMP incident after the boy was Tasered by Mounties April 7 after the boy allegedly stabbed his care worker.
