The two Vancouver police officers who were videoed posing for photos in front of a dead man lying on Third Beach have been reassigned while investigations into their conduct take place.
"As of yesterday [Monday] morning, under Section 110 of the Police Act, the VPD has reassigned the two officers to non-deployable, administrative positions while the [Office of Police Complaint Commissioner] investigation is ongoing," said Simi Heer, VPD director of public affairs.
"Any change in this status, will depend on the outcome of the OPCC investigation," she said.
Videographer Zachary Ratcliffe came upon the scene of the officers laughing and taking photos with the body of the dead man in the background around 10 a.m. PT Wednesday.
