Police officers in Prince Albert, Sask., failed to conduct a proper investigation into a domestic violence situation that involved a vulnerable and unprotected baby, and the baby was found dead hours later, according to a newly released independent report by Saskatchewan’s Public Complaints Commission (PCC).
