Brantford police have charged a member of the Hamilton Police Service as part of a domestic assault investigation.

The 52-year-old constable was taken into custody Wednesday, and released on a promise to appear in relation to the off-duty incident.

Brantford police say the patrol officer, who has been with the Hamilton force for 29 years, has been charged with assault and has a November court date in Brantford.

Hamilton police are not releasing the name of the constable because that could identify the victim.

The officer has been reassigned to administrative duty.
