Edmonton Police Officer facing charges

Feb 14, 2018 | 3:51 PM

EDMONTON – An Edmonton police officer is facing several criminal charges, including obstruction of justice.

The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team says Sgt. Kevin Fald misrepresented the status of a police investigation in family court in 2016.

It alleges the officer was not part of the investigation and his misrepresentation led the court to grant an emergency protection order.

The agency further alleges Fald attempted to obstruct a professional standards investigation into his conduct.
