VICTORIA — An investigation into Victoria’s suspended police chief has been granted a fourth extension by British Columbia’s police complaint commissioner.

Commissioner Stan Lowe says the investigation into Frank Elsner was to have been completed by Thursday but a new deadline has been set for Feb. 24.

Elsner has previously apologized for sending inappropriate social media messages to the wife of one of his officers.

He faces more than 10 misconduct allegations stemming from his conduct and potential interference with the ensuing investigation.
