Victoria’s suspended police chief quit Thursday amid an investigation into his sexually charged Twitter messages to the wife of a subordinate officer. “It’s basically business as usual as it’s been for the last year-and-a-half, but chief Elsner is no longer the suspended chief, he is the former chief as of today,” she said, in an interview. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson released a decision last month that narrowed the scope of the commissioner’s investigation by throwing out two of five allegations against Elsner. It’s unclear what happens to the commissioner’s investigation now that Elsner has resigned. A separate investigation into allegations against Elsner of workplace sexual harassment has been set for a closed-door discipline hearing.
