 Fifteen police officers were sent home during the Olympic games, many for drunken acts after-hours, RCMP Insp. Tim Shields said Monday. Four of the compaints involved unwanted sexual advances on other members of the Integrated Security Unit, he said.

"The vast majority of these were reported by other ISU members," Shields said. He said they were sent home so quickly because "we didn't want them or the incident they were involved in to be a distraction." Just one ISU member was charged criminally of the 6,200 on duty during the games and that was a shoplifting case.

One of the officers was sent home for taking photos on his cell phone of Team Canada jerseys in a dressing room prior to a men's hockey game, Shields said. And another officer was sent home for forgetting to put bullets in his gun. "We are extremely happy with the way things transpired," Shields said.
