PRINCE ALBERT, Sask. – A Prince Albert police officer who was on paid leave since 2011 has finally been let go. Const. Patrick Robin was dismissed from the force in March 2010 for prosecuting a case without the Crown’s approval.
Robin appealed to the Saskatchewan Police Commission and was reinstated.

But the police force appealed that ruling to commission, which now says his termination was justified.
Robin was earning more than $84,000 per year while on leave.
Police Chief Troy Cooper, who has said the case has put a strain on police resources, says the matter is now closed.
