Vancouver Police investigate themselves, guess the outcome?

Today I got the Police report on the complaint I filed with the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner on June 1, 2008. As expected, its a whitewash. 

Any normal person reading the case can see that the police not only erred in their actions on the morning of October 20, 2007 when they broke into my suite, but what is also galling is that they did not record key information. 

To sum up, the security guard in the building filed a report on the incident where he describes talking to an agitated female resident of the building 3 floors down from my unit. She told him she fought with her boyfriend. He escorted her up to her suite and saw damage to the door.

The police had talked to this resident, but despite the fact that they were responding to a call from a resident one floor above this lady and 2 floors down from me about a domestic dispute, they left her and did not record any of this in their reports. I only found out about it from the Security Guards report. They instead went to my unit where no one was in and waited for an hour before breaking it down. They spoke to the Security Guard but never bothered to ask him about any problems in the building, which is the first thing an officer should have done.

Police also initially claimed that they got my number from the Assistant Manager but there was no response. When I proved via my phone bills that no call came in from them, they now state in the report that the number they were given was not the right one. They also did not record this number. More so, the Assistant Manager did not show up till after the breach of my unit, so who was this person that gave them this supposed telephone number?

So, the fight goes on. It proves that in the City of Vancouver, the police can do whatever they want as their employer, the City of Vancouver will cover for them.
