REGINA – A member of the Regina Police Service (RPS) is facing one charge of Breach of Trust and one charge of Unauthorized Use of a Computer as a result of an investigation by the RPS.
This news release is being issued in accordance with past practice of the Police Service and is consistent with the Service’s commitment to public accountability and transparency.
Sergeant Robert Eric Semenchuck is accused of accessing RPS internal databases for a non-work purpose and using the information from those databases to pursue personal relationships.
Police were made aware of the allegations in early 2023 when a member of the public brought concerns forward to police.
RPS took these concerns very seriously by suspending Semenchuck and removing his access to all police databases.
On March 11, following an extensive police investigation and consultation with Crown Prosecution, Semenchuck, a police officer with 22 years of service, was charged with: Breach of Trust; and Unauthorized Use of Computer.
He will make his first appearance on these charges in Regina Provincial Court on April 22 at 9:30 a.m.
The RPS Professional Standards Section, who have led this investigation, are asking anyone with any additional information to contact them at 306-777-6514.
