Greater Sudbury’s former Police Chief, Frank Elsner, was the recent focus of an internal investigation at the Victoria Police Services over allegedly inappropriate messages on social media.

It was discovered this fall that Elsner had allegedly exchanged inappropriate messages with the wife of one of his officers, through Twitter.

The Victoria Police Services Board conducted an internal investigation, but no inappropriate relationship was found.

It’s unknown if Elsner was disciplined since this was a personnel matter.

Elsner left Sudbury two years ago to lead the police services branch in Victoria, BC.

He is married with two daughters.
