CHIEF CONSTABLE JIM CHU
STATEMENT

Special Prosecutor Decision

A few minutes ago, I learned of the Special Prosecutor’s decision not to approve criminal charges against a VPD constable in the death of Paul Boyd.
 
As I have from the beginning of this tragic incident, I would like to once again extend our sincere regrets and condolences to the Boyd family for their loss.
 
No police officer ever comes to work with the intent of taking a life. This incident was difficult and sad for everyone involved.
