The Nova Scotia Police Review Board is hearing an appeal launched by Corey Roger's mother, Jeannette Rogers, regarding the disciplinary decisions of the Halifax police force after her son's death in June 2016.

The president of the Halifax Regional Police Association says without more staff and a dedicated sergeant, the Halifax police jail won't be capable of meeting legally required standard of care.

Constables Daniel Fraser and Cheryl Gardner are on trial in Nova Scotia Supreme Court for criminal negligence causing the death of Corey Rogers on June 16, 2016.
