A high-ranking member of the Calgary Police Service is suing the force and individual members in a $300,000-lawsuit that alleges he was bullied and harassed, and that his career was sabotaged over the past nine years.

In a 14-page statement of claim, Staff Sgt. Bruce Walker, a 20-year CPS member, accuses former chief Roger Chaffin and others of manipulating the local force’s promotion process while failing to properly investigate Walker’s workplace complaints.

Also named in the June 7 suit are CPS general counsel Stephanie Morson, deputy chief Sat Parhar and the Calgary police commission.

The suit contends the City of Calgary and chief of police failed to create and maintain an environment of individual safety, respect and professionalism, among other values.

“The City and Chief of Police were reckless in failing to properly supervise the conduct of the individual defendants,” it states.
