Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 26-OCI-021
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and the subject officers, and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, one subject officer did not agree to an interview with the SIU, but did authorize the release of their notes. In the afternoon of early 2026, two subject officers were on-duty together assigned to the West Neighbourhood Resource Team, a proactive policing initiative by the service. The officers attended an apartment complex in the area of Richmond Road and Croydon Avenue to perform welfare checks, enforce conditions of release, and execute outstanding arrest warrants. The complainant was identified as a person associated with the building who was subject to an arrest warrant on theft charges. The officers were just outside the elevator when it opened and the complainant stepped out. Asked to identify themselves, the complainant provided a false name and attempted to walk by the officers. The two subject officers took hold of the complainant and a struggle ensued. The complainant was forcibly taken to the floor and handcuffed behind the back. The complainant was transported to hospital after their arrest and diagnosed with a fractured left knee.
