The police oversight agency says the Bathurst police force contacted the watchdog in late May 2025 with an allegation that an officer was harassing a former intimate partner.

Two additional incidents related to the initial allegation were brought forward the following month.

The offences are alleged to have happened over a two and a half year period, beginning in November 2022.

The officer was charged Tuesday and is scheduled to appear in Bathurst Provincial Court on June 29.

The Serious Incident Response Team says it provided oversight for the RCMP, which conducted an investigation into the allegations.
