CKNW
by Charmaine de Silva
It looks like a controversial RCMP officer is no longer with the force.
In a statement to Global BC, RCMP Deputy Commissioner Craig Callens says Corporal Jim Brown’s carrer with the RCMP is over.
Brown is best known for sexually explicit photos of himself wearing little but his Mountie-issued boots… but a disciplinary hearing over the matter was recently “adjourned indefinitely.”
But Callens says “as the date for the [latest] hearing approached, [Brown] submitted his discharge papers.”
It caps four years since the Coquitlam Corporal was suspended with pay.
Brown was eligible to retire with full pension, after almost 28 years of service with the RCMP.

In 2012, bondage pictures emerged of Brown in sexually explicit poses with a woman.
They were posted by Brown on a personal account on the “bondage, BDSM & fetish” community Fetlife, which he believed would be private.
The pictures ended up being released to media, which subsequently sparked an internal R.C.M.P. investigation and Brown was put on paid leave.
