Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 25-PCI-490
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and other witnesses (police and non-police), and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, the subject officer chose not to interview with the SIU or authorize the release of their notes. In early 2025, police officers, including the subject officer, attended at a campsite in a provincial park. A park warden had contacted police for their assistance. A short period prior, the park warden, at the campsite in connection with a noise complaint, had witnessed one of the campers - the affected person - slap someone in the face. The subject officer and another officer took custody of the affected person and handcuffed them behind the back without incident. The affected person was searched and placed in the rear of the police cruiser for transportation to the detachment. At the detachment, the affected person was lodged in a cell and held there until their release from custody later that morning. The affected person returned to the park to meet with someone in violation of a no-contact condition of their release from custody. They subsequently attended hospital that same day and were diagnosed with two broken ribs.
