BELLEVILLE, Ont. – Belleville police say they have completed an internal investigation into inappropriate posts made by an officer on Twitter but won’t say if anyone was disciplined.
The investigation began Dec. 8 after the comments were posted on the social media site by a user named “The Copper” from the account ↕BPS-Finest.
One of the posts read: “Sometimes I wish the cruiser played ‘Move Bitch, Get Out The Way’ instead of using sirens.”
The Twitter page also had a photograph of a man hiding his face, wearing a vest with the word “Police” on it.
The investigation has determined the tweets were posted by a Belleville police officer who was not on duty at the time and that the officer did not use a police-issued BlackBerry to post the messages.
Acting Inspector Chris Barry says the identity of the officer won’t be released and that the issue has been addressed internally but he wouldn’t comment on whether any discipline was involved.
