The LPS made the suspension announcement on Monday.
The names of the suspended employees were not released.
The LPS also confirmed the force would hold public hearings when the case gets to that stage.
The 2018 incident has been referred to an outside agency for investigation and outside legal counsel has been retained to prosecute the misconduct charges, the LPS stated.
The original article “Police service suspends five” by Tim Kalinowski on the front page of the March 16 edition of The Lethbridge Herald contained several inaccuracies.
Deputy Chief Scott Woods, named in the article, has not been suspended and a civilian employee was not involved.
