Police noted in a release that the alleged assault took place before Kozlovich joined the RCMP.

Now, the BC RCMP said it has launched an internal investigation and is assessing the member’s employment status.
Kozlovich completed RCMP training in January 2018.
He has made his first appearance in court and has been released on bail.
