VPD officer urged hospital to keep Const. Nicole Chan on night she died: inquiry

Head recalled to the inquest’s jury Thursday that when Chan learned that she may be apprehended under the Mental Health Act and taken to hospital she told Head that it was pointless because she would just tell the doctors what they needed to hear to release her.

Head elaborated Thursday that in her work, Chan would have brought countless people into hospital herself and seen exactly how that process goes. In the thousands of Mental Health Act apprehensions he had been a part of since joining VPD in 2012, Head told the inquiry he could think of maybe one or two times before the night with Chan that a patient hadn’t been kept overnight in hospital.

Ian Mulgrew: It's time to rein in the VPDOpinion: Every study of the patchwork quilt of policing in the Metro area for half a century has concluded a regional force is needed. The tail is wagging the dog. what a disgrace.... While there are valid criticisms of VPD (I posted one yesterday), known police-haters like Ian garner no credibility! You make assumptions about being charged with 'obstruction' with ZERO info on what actually occurred. And inflame about a fatal shooting deemed justified. 🤡🤡🤡
