Vancouver cop to face hearing

A Vancouver Police officer accused of professional misconduct will be the subject of a public hearing.

The Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner says allegations against Const. Stephen Todd include corrupt practice, deceit, neglect of duty, improper disclosure of information and discreditable conduct.

The office says it received information about the allegations from the VPD in March 2011. The police disciplinary process determined misconduct had occurred and proposed he be dismissed.

Todd appealed the findings. Retired B.C. Court of Appeal judge Wally Oppal has been appointed as adjudicator for the hearing, which has not yet been scheduled.
