Halifax's Board of Police Commissioners has called a special meeting to deal with the results of a drug audit on police exhibit lockers. The meeting, to be held partly behind closed doors, is set for Thursday afternoon.

The audit found 90 per cent of the drugs in one locker were unaccounted for. In the money vault, 55 per cent of the exhibits were not where they were supposed to be.

The results of the audit were released last week.

Police officials have vowed to find the exhibits and improve procedures in the wake of the audit.

The agenda says the item to be discussed is a personnel issue connected to the drug audit.

The board is a civilian body that governs many aspects of the Halifax Regional Police, including budget and strategic policy. The board's chairman, Coun. Russell Walker, confirmed to CBC News that the board was unaware that an audit was taking place.

Reports rarely accurate

The audit was ordered after the province's Serious Incident Response Team charged a Halifax Regional Police officer with breach of trust and obstruction of justice.

The charges against Const. Laurence Gary Basso were recently stayed by the Crown. Prosecutors have up to a year from that suspension to restore the charges against him.

The audit found evidence continuity reports are often missing important details and are rarely accurate.
