Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 26-TCI-057
Redacted summary
The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and both subject officers, gives rise to the following scenario. In the afternoon of early 2026, members of a divisional MCU were on the lookout for the affected person. They had information to believe that they had committed an offence, and planned to arrest them. Operating unmarked vehicles and dressed in plainclothes, the officers located the affected person exiting an apartment building and tracked them to a grocery store, just around the corner from their residence in the area of a major street. They took up positions on the street outside the grocery store intending to take the affected person into custody on their exit from the store. Unaware they were being followed, the affected person left the store with an item in hand and started walking in the direction of their residence. They were confronted by an officer. The officer physically engaged the affected person and the two went to the ground. Other members of the MCU arrived quickly at the site of the arrest, including another officer, and intervened. The officer used force on the affected person. The affected person was handcuffed behind the back and transported to the police station. The affected person complained of pain and was transported to hospital where initial assessments proved inconclusive. They were told to return to the hospital for a follow-up assessment. The affected person was later diagnosed with an injury.
