Special Investigations Unit (Ontario) · SIU case 26-OCI-102
Redacted summary
In the evening of early 2026, officers from the Ottawa Police Service were responding to a reported domestic disturbance in the area of a city in Ontario when they received a related call about a male on the roof of a nearby building. The subject officer was the first to arrive on scene, followed by two witness officers. The male on the roof was the affected person, who had earlier called police from their residence, reporting a break-in attempt. The affected person had exited their residence and made their way to the building, where they ascended onto the roof and perched themselves at its highest point. The subject officer and a witness officer attempted to persuade the affected person to come down safely. The affected person threatened to jump if not provided with a cigarette and, on a couple of occasions, hung from a light bar attached to the top of the exterior wall. As negotiations were ongoing, a fire truck appeared on scene. About seven minutes after the arrival of the police, the affected person again hung on the exterior wall of the building, holding the light bar, and lost their grip, falling to the ground. The affected person was transported to hospital and diagnosed with multiple fractures.
