Vancouver police confirmed Thursday night that they are conducting two investigations into members of the 2010 Integrated Security Unit, the RCMP-led joint police, military and security force overseeing the Olympic Winter Games.

Police spokeswoman Const. Jana McGuinness said no arrests have been made.

She declined to provide additional details.

Representatives of the Integrated Security Unit told CTV News that seven police officers have been sent home for code-of-conduct issues, but declined to elaborate.

Why should their conduct be any different at the Olympics then it is any other day.!!

You want more things for me to come up with? Hey's it's not me that is letting mentally ill people get close to Biden or suspicious contents getting through xray to the medal ceremonies.

It's that 1billion dollar security system they set up that you and I are gonna pay for when they raise the HST to 13%. Those choppers and fighter jets and swat teams are totally cool for stopping big bad terrorists but of course the real threats are 'LoneWolf' nutjobs like the guy in Austin who decided he would end his tax problems by flying his plane into an IRS building.

Two RCMP officers investigated for sexual assault..

Two former members of the 2010 Olympic security force are being investigated for sexual assault, CTV News has confirmed.

The two alleged assaults happened aboard a cruise ship where out-of-town security force members are residing during the Games.

The suspects are RCMP officers. The alleged victims are also police officers. :137:

The alleged incidents were apparently fuelled by alcohol. While military officers are forbidden from consuming alcohol on the ships, police officers are not.

Huh? What's this? Praise continues to roll in for Games!

Gilbert Felli, executive director of the Games for the International Olympic Committee, said Saturday that "everyone is rating the Games very highly.

VANOC deputy CEO Dave Cobb echoed Mr. Felli's remarks, saying athletes and team officials have been "extremely complementary" about the way the Games have unfolded so far.

Well, from sources as unbiased as that it's hard not to be impressed :dyinglaughing:

Meanwhile, from headlines from around the world (outside the VANOC bubble zone):

"Vancouver Winter Olympics the worst ever !!!"
