Senior Vancouver police officer charged with sex crimes and breach of trust
VANCOUVER — A 29-year member of the Vancouver police department is facing several charges including sexual exploitation, sexual assault and obstructing justice.
Vancouver Chief Const. Adam Palmer said Det. Const. James Fisher was arrested on Wednesday and charged Thursday in a case that involved two victims, one of them a juvenile.
The senior officer was a member of the force’s counter exploitation team, which investigates prostitution and criminal exploitation.
Fisher was on active duty until the day of his arrest and did not know he was under investigation, Palmer said.
