REGINA – Regina’s former police chief is appealing his dismissal.
The Saskatchewan Police Commission says there will be a hearing in September on Farooq Sheikh’s termination.
The hearing is scheduled to take place over two days in Regina.
Sheikh was fired last year after a misconduct investigation found he sent inappropriate text messages to a member of the Regina Board of Police Commissioners.
Mayor Chad Bachynski said in October that the messages were sent over several months and included an in-camera discussion about Sheikh’s employment contract.
Sheikh was fired with cause, without severance pay, and the city has since hired Chief Lorilee Davies.
