An officer with the Prince Albert Police Service has been charged with impaired driving.
Deputy chief Jeff Rowden says the officer is a 13-year member and was off duty at the time of the alleged offence.
Rowden says in a release that a member of the public called in a report of a drunk driver on March 3, but a suspect and vehicle could not be located at that time.
The investigation that followed led to the charge this week.
The 35-year-old officer, who is on paid administrative leave, is to make his first appearance in Prince Albert provincial court on Aug. 9.
An internal investigation is to be done at the conclusion of criminal proceedings.
His name has not been released.
