Edmundston s police chief chafed at scathing comments by federal leaders after one of the force s officers killed Chantel Moore last June, newly released documents show.
Moore, a 26-year-old woman from Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation was shot by an officer during a wellness check early on June 4.
Emails from Edmundston Police Force Chief Alain Lang to city officials suggest frustration over public perception of the force in the city of 16,000 in northwestern New Brunswick.
Lang s emails are among hundreds of pages of documents released to CBC News following a right-to-information request seeking records about how the municipality responded to the shooting, including staff and council correspondence.
