Lethbridge-West MLA Shannon Phillips at Lethbridge Police Service. Rob vanSpronsen, the chair of the commission, said in a statement the circumstances around the request were "problematic." The alleged threats follow Phillips' revelations earlier this year that police monitored her while she was the NDP's environment minister. In Lethbridge on Monday, Phillips said the serious nature of the retaliation threats against her merited an inquiry under the Police Act. Another woman also pushed for an inquiry says a retired inspector sexually assaulted her while he was still on the job.
