Halifax's police chief provided reporters an update on the progress of the force's drug exhibit audit Monday, saying he expects to complete it by the end of "this calendar year."

The chief of the Halifax Regional Police (HRP) updated the Board of Police Commissioners Monday on how an audit into the force's drug exhibits is going - and gave a timeline for when the audit will likely conclude.

HRP launched the audit after they charged one of their own in January with theft, breach of trust and obstruction of justice.
