A former RCMP commander has pleaded guilty to an assault charge in relation to an incident that occurred in July 2025 in Abbotsford.<\/p>\n
David Teboul, the former assistant commissioner for the RCMP Pacific region, issued the plea on Wednesday (Oct. 28) in Abbotsford provincial court on what was scheduled to be the first day of his trial.<\/p>\n
He was initially charged with three offences, but the other two charges \u2013 a second assault charge and a charge of assault by choking \u2013 are expected to be stayed at sentencing, which has been set for Nov. 19.<\/p>\n
The Abbotsford Police Department previously reported that officers responded on July 2, 2025 to a reported assault at Abbotsford Recreation Centre.<\/p>\n
They said all the individuals involved \u2013 including an off-duty RCMP officer \u2013 were identified at the scene.<\/p>\n
Teboul was not publicly named until charges were announced against him on Sept. 19, 2025.<\/p>\n
A biography for Teboul posted on the RCMP\u2019s website said he had been a Mountie since 1997.<\/p>\n
He had worked in the homicide unit and was in charge of the RCMP\u2019s anti-corruption unit before joining B.C.\u2019s national security counter-terrorism program. <\/p>\n
He was then named as officer in charge of E Division, the federal RCMP\u2019s unit in B.C.<\/p>\n
In March 2024, Teboul was appointed to the rank of assistant commissioner for the Pacific region, which includes B.C. and the Yukon.<\/p>\n
Teboul has since resigned from the RCMP.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Former RCMP commander pleads guilty to Abbotsford assault Published 10:13 am Thursday, October 29, 2026 A former RCMP…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":951008,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":["post-951007","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-surrey","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-surrey"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951007","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=951007"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/951007\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/951008"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=951007"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=951007"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=951007"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
