A senior officer with the Delta Police Department has been suspended pending the outcome of a Police Act investigation.

The DPD is not naming the officer in question, but CTV B次元官网网址 is reporting that Inspector Varun Naidu was suspended last month while investigators with the Saanich Police Department look into his interactions with a young woman who was interested in a career in policing.

Naidu has been with the Delta Police department for 25 years and was in charge of its emergency response team. In March of this year he received the Police Officer Commission from the Lieutenant Governor of B.C.

DPD public affairs coordinator Cris Leykauf said it is not a criminal investigation and the allegations regarding the officerB次元官网网址檚 actions do not involve Delta Police Department employees.

B次元官网网址淎nother police agency is leading this investigation to ensure it is fair and impartial. That agency has assigned a discipline authority who is in charge of the investigation,B次元官网网址� Leykauf said in an email to the North Delta Reporter. B次元官网网址淭he Office of Public Complaints Commission has oversight of this investigation. Pending completion of the investigation the officer has been suspended. This decision was made by the external discipline authority.B次元官网网址�

Leykauf said the department cannot comment further as the investigation is ongoing and being led by another police department.
