REGINA – The Regina Police Service says a former officer who was fired after he was charged with assault is getting his job back.
Robert Power was found guilty in provincial court earlier this year of assault causing bodily harm for kicking a drunken man in the detox unit.

But a Queen’s Bench judge reviewed the case and overturned the conviction last month.
An independent hearing officer appointed by the Saskatchewan Police Commission has ruled that Power should be reinstated. Police say he will be returning to his job this week and placed on administrative duties.
