SiRT: No Charges Against Liverpool Officer Following Pursuit

An RCMP officer from Liverpool is off the hook following an investigation by the province's Serious Incident Response Team. SiRT was looking into a motor vehicle pursuit in June. The incident stemmed from an alleged domestic assault in Lunenburg, before a 37-year-old man started driving on Highway 103 and went off the road in Granite Village, Shelburne County. The officer followed the vehicle and was on scene when the crash occurred and alerted EHS. Director Ron MacDonald feels the officer did his duty.



MacDonald says no charges will be laid against the officer. SiRT is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia.
