The Prince Albert Board of Police Commissioners is supporting Police Chief Jonathan Bergen after reports this week of questions of confidence in the Chief. There have been news reports in which unnamed sources tied to the Police Association claimed an on-line vote brought into question some members’ confidence in Chief Bergen. Sheryl Kimbley, is Chair of the Board. She says, “We wish to make it very clear to the public we represent and serve, and to all concerned, that the Board has great confidence in Chief Bergen and the quality of leadership he provides in a challenging position.”

Kimbley says the Board has received confusing and inconsistent written communications in recent weeks from the Police Association. She says the Association has acknowledged that the vote ws leaked to media. But, she says in another letter the association indicated police members’ full support of the Chief.

Mayor Greg Dionne says that the board understands that the Association is in a state of transition in leadership, but he says they are disappointed with some of what they are seeing from some members.
