President of Lethbridge Police Assoc. reacts to LPS reprimanding officer l Jay McMillan l Oct 7, 24

Aired on: Monday, Oct 7, 2024
Lethbridge Police have reprimanded an officer in connection with improperly accessing information involving former Lethbridge MLA Shannon Phillips back in 2018. In 2020, a complaint was issued by Phillips that three Lethbridge Police officers and one civilian employee improperly accessed her information on the police database. The investigation by ASIRT concluded that two officers, including one still employed by LPS, Constable Joel Odorski, may have committed criminal offenses. However, the Alberta Crown Prosecution Service claimed the test for prosecution was not met and charges would not be laid. The LPS did however find Constable Odorski guilty of discreditable conduct and insubordination and was sanctioned through a reprimand as a result, which will remain on his record of discipline for three years. All disciplinary matters by the LPS are now concluded based on the investigation.
Jay McMillan is the president of the Lethbridge Police Association. He responded to the LPS reprimanding a police officer in connection with a complaint made by former MLA Phillips back in 2020. He joins us now from Lethbridge to offer his thoughts to BCN's Hal Roberts.
