Court Proceedings

RCMP breach of trust case proceeding to trial

Jun 29, 2020 | 5:00 PM

A Saskatchewan RCMP officer, who allegedly accessed at least one sensitive image of a female inmate, while she was in custody, will face trial early next year.

Wade Chitrena was working at the Buffalo Narrows detachment at the time of the incident in October, 2018. He was subsequently charged with breach of trust.

The investigation determined at least one still image had been copied and printed from a security camera video. The camera was positioned in the cell block area.

A hearing on Friday at Battleford Court of Queen’s Bench determined there was enough evidence to proceed to trial. The dates have been set for Jan. 11 to 13, 2021.

At the time Chitrena was charged, RCMP indicated he was suspended with pay. Additionally, an RCMP code of conduct was ordered.
