Calgary’s mayor weighed in on the emotional public resignation of a Calgary police officer, who stepped down after feeling bullied and sexually harassed.

Naheed Nenshi was asked what he would say to Jen Magnus Ward.

“I’m so sorry that this has happened to you, we believe you, we will support you, and I hope that you will still consider having a career at the Calgary Police Service because it is people like you who are great officers, who are great public servants, who deserve better,” he said.

Nenshi says he believes the police chief and commission are working hard to fix problems in the force.

He says it has to be a welcoming and safe place to work for all members.
