Senior B.C. Mountie David Teboul pleads guilty to assault

Teboul was charged about a month later.

The prosecution service has said special prosecutors are appointed “to avoid any potential for real or perceived improper influence in the administration of justice” given the nature of the allegations and Teboul’s senior position of authority.

The Abbotsford Police Department issued a statement in September last year, confirming Teboul had been charged in relation to an assault on July 2 at “a public facility on the 2400 block of McMillan Road.”

That block includes McMillan Park, which has several sports fields, and is adjacent to William A. Fraser Middle School.

According to the RCMP’s website, Teboul has been a Mountie since 1997 and has served in detachments along the west coast of Canada.

It said his career included more than a decade of homicide investigative work and several years in charge of the RCMP’s Anti-Corruption Unit, before he joined British Columbia’s National Security Counter-Terrorism Program, where he served for eight years and was in charge for nearly three years.

In March 2024, Teboul was appointed assistant commissioner in the position of federal policing regional commander for the Pacific region, which includes B.C. and Yukon.

It said he led all federal programs in that role, including national security, drugs and organized crime, border integrity, financial integrity and protective services.

The website said he had also “been granted several RCMP service awards and commendations.”

Teboul received the King Charles III Coronation Medal in June 2025, about two weeks before the alleged offences.
