A male RCMP officer in Antigonish, N.S. is under investigation after two allegations of domestic violence.
The provincial Serious Incident Response Team is not releasing the officer's name.
The common assault allegations date to between December 2011 and June 2012.
After an arrest this week, the officer was released on a promise to appear at the Antigonish Justice Centre in December.
The SIRT is responsible for investigating all serious incidents involving police in Nova Scotia, whether or not there is an allegation of wrongdoing.
