THE BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) announced on Friday that assault charges have been approved against a Langley RCMP officer as a result of the officer’s interactions with two different suspects following their arrests on July 1, 2020, and on August 17, 2020, respectively.
Two informations, each charging Staff-Sgt. Damian Volk with assault were sworn on May 26 in North Vancouver Provincial Court. The first appearance on these matters is scheduled for June 23.
