Heiltsuk carver Maxwell Johnson and his granddaughter were arrested in 2019 after wrongly being accused of fraud.
The agency says in a news release that a discipline proceeding found Vancouver police constables Canon Wong and Mitchel Tong committed misconduct and that they were ordered by a retired judge in March 2022 to provide oral apologies.
It says the officers provided written apologies but have not yet agreed to apologize “the way requested by the applicants.”Commissioner Prabhu Rajan has now appointed retired B.C.
Court of Appeal justice Wally Oppal as adjudicator for a full review of the evidence, which may result in an order for the constables to attend a Heiltsuk trauma-healing ceremony.
