Kash Heed - Political Campaign

Political Campaign

Heed's opponent and main electoral rival in the British Columbia New Democratic Party, Gabriel Yiu has accused him of using images showing Heed in a police uniform in his campaign materials as being improper.

Heed resigned from the West Vancouver Police Department prior to the end of his five-year contract. He also resigned before he could be brought to task on the allegation of improperly revealing information to a police board member. Prior to the allegations Heed had decried the fact (Video media) that some former employees of the WVPD had used the same tactic to avoid a hearing by the Police Complaints Commission.

While Solicitor General, Heed stated that he wished to change the system so that police officers will not be able to avoid hearings by either retiring or by resigning; however, this change would not be retro-active.
