Regarding the other officer, the OPCC said he had resigned from the VPD and, “also received discipline that will still be entered on his service record of discipline. In an email to Jenn from the Office Of The Police Complaint Commissioner and shown to Daily Hive, it said regarding the investigation into one officer, proceedings are still ongoing and no “determination” has been made yet surrounding the allegations. She told me on multiple occasions she didn’t know what she will do other than being an officer if it came to that in the end,” Jenn said. She started to lose her sense of self and her purpose in life, since she has always wanted to be in the VPD and practically worked her life to become an officer. Shortly after filing the complaint, Nicole went on stress leave, “the longer she was on stress leave and off work, the more she felt like she couldn’t go back. Nicole Chan (left) and Jenn Chan (right) / All images courtesy Jenn Chan Jenn said there were two separate incidents mentioned in the one complaint: one where Nicole was “in a relationship” with a superior, adding that he was aware that Nicole was in a “vulnerable state” because she was dealing with stresses from the job, including PTSD, and a second incident, allegedly involving another officer who was assigned to Nicole’s stress leave. In an interview with Daily Hive Vancouver, Jenn said the investigation is looking into the relationships between two senior VPD members and her sister after Nicole filed an official complaint with the Chief of Police back in 2017.
Nicole, a member of the Vancouver Police Department for more than 9 years, took her own life in January amid an internal investigation into two senior VPD members that was launched after she filed a complaint against them. Loving, down-to-earth with a killer sense of humour, ambitious, active, and crafty when it came to making collars for dogs and cats - that’s how Jenn Chan describes her sister, Constable Nicole Chan.
