The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and other witnesses, and video footage that largely captured the incident, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, the subject officer did not agree to an interview with the SIU or the release of their notes. In the morning of early 2026, staff at a housing support centre in a regional area contacted police to have a woman – the affected person – removed from the facility. The affected person was causing a disturbance and had behaved rudely to staff. They were subject to an order prohibiting their attendance at the centre. The officer arrived on scene and approached the affected person. They were seated on a sofa in the reception area. The officer stood a distance from them and explained that they needed to leave. The affected person refused to leave. After a period of further conversation, the officer approached the affected person and took hold of their arm. The affected person moved down the sofa away from the officer. They flailed their legs at the officer and fought against their efforts to take them into custody. The struggle moved to the floor where the officer attempted to wrestle control of their arms behind their back. The affected person resisted strenuously for a period of time, even as the officer tried to keep them pinned to the floor with their knees and hands. It was only with the arrival of two additional officers that the affected person was handcuffed with their hands behind their back. Following their arrest, the affected person was transported to hospital and diagnosed with a broken nose.

In the late afternoon of early 2026, officers were alerted to a recent theft of alcohol from an LCBO in a shopping centre. The suspect had fled the LCBO and entered a nearby store where a security guard stopped him. The suspect dropped a backpack containing stolen items and fled further into the store as the officers arrived. They chased the suspect, grounded and handcuffed him behind the back. An officer arrived shortly after the arrest to assist and checked the backpack's items. The officer was approached by a person who picked up an item that had fallen from the backpack, claiming it belonged to them. The officer replied that it was not theirs, stood up, and removed the item from the person's hand. The person swiped the officer's hand away, and the officer moved towards them, grabbed them by the upper body, and used their leg to sweep the person's legs out from under them. The person fell onto their back, favouring their right knee, and was handcuffed behind the back and taken into custody. The person was seen at hospital after their arrest and diagnosed with a fractured right knee.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and other witnesses (police and non-police), gives rise to the following scenario. As was his legal right, the subject officer chose not to interview with the SIU. He did authorize the release of his notes. Shortly before noon, in early 2026, police officers responded to a call in Sudbury. A 911 call had been received suggesting a potentially violent disturbance inside a vehicle. The caller did not communicate directly with the call-taker but the police were able to use her cell phone to approximate a location from where she was calling. An officer found the vehicle in the area. He spoke to two females and determined that there were grounds to believe that one of them had been assaulted by the complainant. Fearing his imminent arrest, the complainant, inside the rear of the vehicle, exited and fled the scene. He ran a short distance and entered into the rear, enclosed deck of a house in the area, where he sought to conceal himself in a crawl space under a staircase. A police dog handler – the subject officer – and his dog arrived at the site of the vehicle from which the complainant had fled. Joined by other officers, the subject officer and his dog initiated a track of the complainant. He was not hard to find. The officers followed a set of footprints in the snow to the house, spoke to one of the homeowners briefly, and entered the rear deck. The complainant was quickly located inside a crawl space. The subject officer released his police dog. The dog approached the complainant and bit his right hand. With the dog still latched onto his hand, the complainant was removed from the crawl space and positioned on the floor in a prone position. He was handcuffed behind the back and the dog separated from his right hand. The complainant was transported to hospital after his arrest and diagnosed with a fracture of the small finger on the right hand.

The SIU investigated an incident involving Toronto Police Service (TPS) officers who attended at an address in the area of Jane Street and Wilson Avenue in Toronto in the evening of late December 2025. A civilian witness had called police to report being assaulted by the complainant, and had fled the apartment to a nearby location before officers arrived. Three witness officers arrived at the door of the apartment at approximately 11:40 p.m. and knocked and called out, receiving no response. While officers remained at the door awaiting a master key from the landlord, video footage from a camera on an adjacent building captured the complainant falling from height and impacting the ground at approximately 11:42 p.m. Officers entered the apartment after the key arrived shortly after midnight, and found the complainant was not inside. An officer then went onto the apartment balcony and observed the complainant on the ground below. First responders attended and the complainant was found to be deceased. The complainant had been intoxicated by drugs and alcohol in the period leading to their death. A pathologist attributed the cause of death to blunt impact injuries sustained from a descent from height. The SIU's evidence included a civilian witness interview and video footage that largely captured the incident.

Just after midnight in late December 2025, Toronto Police Service (TPS) officers were called to the scene of a reported hit and run in a residential area of the city. A woman on the roadway had been struck by a vehicle — a Ford Edge — that had left and then returned to the scene. Firefighters were the first to arrive, followed shortly by the subject officer and their partner, a witness officer. A crowd of persons had gathered around the injured woman, including family members. The officers ordered the crowd back so the firefighters could render care. Within seconds of the officers' arrival, a family member of the injured woman approached the Ford Edge, parked nearby at the curb. They tried to open the door of the vehicle and were pushed away by the witness officer. The subject officer arrived at the driver's door of the Ford Edge, opened it, and took hold of the driver — the complainant. The subject officer detected the smell of alcohol emanating from the complainant. The officer repeatedly told the complainant to exit the vehicle and then forcibly removed them from their seat when they did not comply. The subject officer and witness officer escorted the complainant to the rear of the Ford Edge, where the subject officer grounded the complainant front first. The complainant was subsequently handcuffed behind the back and placed in the backseat of a police cruiser. The complainant was transported to hospital following their arrest and diagnosed with a broken nose.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person, the subject officer and other witnesses (police and non-police), and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. In the evening of late 2025, police officers were dispatched to a location. The police had received a call about a disturbance involving the affected person and their partner. The subject officer arrived on scene and was joined by other officers. A crisis worker was also in attendance with the police. The subject officer was met by the affected person and allowed inside. The two made their way to the rear yard to talk. The other officers and the crisis worker remained in the house to speak with the partner. Over the course of the next 45 minutes, the subject officer attempted to have the affected person explain what had happened. An intoxicated affected person engaged with the officer in fits and starts, unable to provide a coherent account of the events that preceded the officers’ arrival and occasionally adopting a belligerent posture with the subject officer. The officer told the affected person that they would not be allowed to stay at the home that night, and would need to explore alternative accommodations. The affected person became increasingly frustrated, unable to secure themselves a place for the night. Near the end of their discourse, the affected person walked towards the rear door of the residence. The subject officer grabbed a hold of them, told them they were under arrest for public intoxication, and attempted to pull them away from the home. The affected person resisted the officer by pulling in the opposite direction. There followed an altercation. The subject officer threw the affected person to the ground and positioned themselves overtop their supine torso. Another officer was by the affected person’s upper body. The affected person thrashed their legs about. The subject officer delivered a series of elbow strikes to the affected person’s face, after which their arms were controlled in front of their body and handcuffed. Following their arrest, the affected person was transported to hospital and diagnosed with a fractured right shoulder.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and police witnesses, and video footage that largely captured the incident, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, the subject officer (SO) did not agree to an interview with the SIU or the release of their notes. In the evening in early November 2025, two witness officers (WO #1 and WO #2) were dispatched to a residence in the area of Ellesmere Road and Meadowvale Road, Toronto, in connection with a reported disturbance. The complainant had been quarrelling with another person and the argument had turned physical. The complainant was belligerent with the officers and refused to be assessed by attending paramedics. At one point, while outside in front of the ambulance, the complainant swatted WO #1's hands. The officer reacted by pushing the complainant backward towards the ambulance and through the open side door. The two tussled briefly before WO #1 delivered a series of punches to the complainant's head area. Shortly after, the complainant was handcuffed and subsequently brought to 43 Division and lodged in a cell. Early the following day, a special constable (SEW #1) attended the cell to retrieve the complainant to speak with duty counsel. The complainant refused to exit the cell and then prevented the special constable from closing the cell door by continually positioning a leg to block its closure. Additional officers attended and, following a struggle, removed the complainant from the cell in order to place them in another cell. The second cell had a "D" ring that could be used to further restrain the complainant while in the cell. The complainant refused to cooperate with the relocation and was dragged from the first cell to the second cell and forced inside. Just inside the second cell, the complainant grabbed hold of the SO's left leg. The officer reacted by punching the complainant six times to the head, after which the complainant let go of the leg. Additional officers entered the cell and assisted in handcuffing the complainant to the "D" ring. The complainant was transported to hospital later that same day. Their left eye was swollen and their nose had started bleeding. They were diagnosed with a fracture of the left orbital bone.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person, the subject officer and other witnesses (police and non-police), and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. In the afternoon of a day in late 2025, the subject officer and their partner, another officer, were on the lookout for the affected person. The affected person was wanted for a number of break and enters, and subject to an outstanding arrest warrant. The officers located the affected person at a gas station in a rural area. The affected person was pumping gas into a vehicle. The officers pulled up in their unmarked vehicle, and exited. The subject officer approached the affected person and advised them they were under arrest. The affected person walked around the front of their vehicle away from the subject officer and towards the driver’s door. They confronted the other officer beside the door and pushed them out of the way, attempting to enter the vehicle. The other officer pushed back against the driver’s door to prevent it opening. The subject officer moved to assist. There followed a struggle in the course of which the subject officer used force against the affected person multiple times. With the assistance of civilians on scene, the officers overcame the affected person’s resistance and handcuffed them. The affected person was transported to hospital where diagnostic imaging was unable to rule out injuries to their ribs.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the subject officer and another police eyewitness, and video footage that largely captured the incident, gives rise to the following scenario. In the evening of late 2025, police officers, including the subject officer, were dispatched to a multi-unit address in a regional town. A resident of the address had contacted police to report concern with the wellbeing of a male – the affected person – causing a disturbance at the property. He had been talking to himself and threatening to kill someone. The subject officer arrived on scene, joined by other officers. They attended at a unit of the building and arrested the affected person on a warrant in effect for their arrest for breach of a probation order. They were handcuffed behind the back, escorted outside and searched by the officers. A number of items were seized. The affected person was subsequently placed in the backseat of a police cruiser and read their rights by an officer. The officer exited the cruiser, leaving the affected person alone. They and another officer returned to the unit to search the residence for firearms. Left alone in the cruiser, the affected person slipped their handcuffed arms below their legs and repositioned them to the front. They subsequently reached towards the crotch area of their pants, retrieved a bag and ingested a substance it contained. Shortly after the affected person’s consumption of the substance, the subject officer began to monitor them from outside the cruiser using the lights from their cruiser and a flashlight. The affected person brought their hands up to their mouth area on several occasions. Having concluded the search of the unit, an officer returned to their cruiser and checked on the affected person in the rear. The affected person was shaking and pale. Noting that the handcuffs were now to the front, and suspecting a drug overdose, the officer requested EMS. The affected person was removed from the cruiser, administered two doses of Narcan and placed in the recovery position pending the arrival of paramedics. EMS arrived and the affected person was taken to hospital and treated for drug overdose.

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 the early morning, 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 subject officer's cruiser for transportation to a 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.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and police and non-police witnesses, and video footage that captured the incident, 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 the morning of late 2025, the police received a call from hospital security reporting that a patient who had been discharged and escorted out of the hospital – the affected person – was in the parking lot, refusing to leave. The subject officer and another officer of the Emergency Response Team were dispatched. Upon arrival, the officers spoke with security and confirmed the information provided in the call. Security advised that the affected person had been discharged and provided with medication but refused to leave the hospital. They had to physically escort them out of the building; however, they still would not leave the property and wanted to return to the hospital. They were trespassed. Hospital staff did not want them back inside and wanted them removed. The briefing did not include information indicating that the affected person had a particular medical condition. The subject officer approached the affected person and informed them that they were required to leave the premises. The affected person stated that they wanted to return to the hospital because they were in pain. They were advised that they could seek care at another hospital, that they had been trespassed from this one, and that they must either leave or be arrested and removed from the premises. During the conversation, the affected person moved away from the vehicle where they had been standing and proceeded in the direction of the hospital doors. As they walked past, the subject officer asked where they were going and took hold of their arm. As the subject officer began to turn them around, an audible cracking sound was heard and the arm appeared to rotate in an abnormal manner consistent with having snapped. The affected person was permitted to re-enter the hospital so that their injury could be addressed. They were diagnosed with, and subsequently treated for, a comminuted and displaced fracture of the left distal humerus.

As was their legal right, the subject officer did not agree to an interview with the SIU. They did authorize the release of their notes. In the afternoon of late 2025, the subject officer, operating a police cruiser with another officer as their passenger, stopped a vehicle in a rural area. The affected person was driving the vehicle. Police officers had been on the lookout for the affected person after they expressed suicidal ideations when they came to learn, earlier that day, that they were the subject of a sexual assault investigation. As the officers exited the cruiser to make their way to the vehicle, the affected person accessed a knife and used it to inflict a serious laceration across their neck. The subject officer and the other officer observed the wound, contacted paramedics, and attempted to apply first aid. When the affected person tried to prevent the officers from helping them, they were handcuffed to allow the officers to provide emergency care. The affected person was transported to hospital and treated for a serious neck wound.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and the subject officer, and other police witnesses, and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. In the early morning of November 2025, an officer, on patrol in a marked vehicle, came across a pick-up truck stopped for a red light in Oakville. When the light turned green, the pick-up did not move. The officer exited their cruiser to check the driver and noticed them asleep with their head slumped forward. After banging on the window for a period, the officer was able to rouse the driver and directed them to pull over on the other side of the intersection. The driver was the affected person. With them in the front passenger seat was a female. The affected person proceeded south through the intersection, put on their four-way flashers as if they were going to stop, and then accelerated away. The officer radioed what had happened and began to pursue the truck. Other officers heard the transmissions and headed in the area of the pursuit to assist, including another officer in an unmarked police vehicle. The officer would come to occupy the lead cruiser in pursuit, in front of the initial officer. The subject officer, also operating an unmarked police cruiser, intervened as well. The pursuit continued at speed for about 12 minutes. The affected person disregarded multiple red lights, as did police officers. A spike belt was deployed in front of the pick-up truck at one point, causing damage to the truck’s front driver side tire. As the pursuit turned onto eastbound Lakeshore Road West from Winston Churchill Boulevard in Mississauga, the three vehicles closest to the affected person’s truck – the officers – decided to perform a rolling block. In the area of the roadway’s intersection with Avonhead Road, the subject officer overtook the truck and began to slow in front of it. The affected person brought the truck to an abrupt stop in front of the officer. Another officer stopped their cruiser alongside the driver side of the truck and a third officer directly behind. The subject officer exited their vehicle and approached the front of the cruiser, pointing their semi-automatic pistol at the affected person in the driver’s seat of the truck. The officer was joined by other officers, who each fired their CEWs at the affected person through the open driver’s door window. Orders were shouted at the affected person to exit the vehicle. The subject officer holstered their gun and took out their OC canister, which they sprayed at the affected person. Shortly after, the subject officer climbed on top of the hood of the cruiser, grabbed a hold of the affected person’s leg, which had appeared through the driver’s window, and, with other officers’ help, pulled the affected person out of the truck onto the hood. The affected person had their arms together by their chest and was on their right side on top of the hood when the subject officer punched them three times to the upper torso / head area. The affected person was pulled off the hood onto the ground in front of the cruiser. There were now about six officers surrounding the affected person. Among them, the subject officer punched in the direction of the affected person’s torso five times and another officer dropped their knee onto the upper body and head area two or three times. The subject officer then stood up and kicked at the affected person’s right hip area six times. Shortly after, the affected person was handcuffed, stood up and lodged in the backseat of one of the cruisers. The affected person was transported to hospital after their arrest and diagnosed with multiple facial fractures.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person, a subject officer 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, a subject officer did not agree to an interview with the SIU or the release of their notes. In the evening of late 2025, police officers, including two subject officers, attended an apartment in the area of a city. The resident had contacted police to report that an inebriated person was in her apartment and she wanted them removed. The officers entered the apartment and approached the person in the living room. They were seated on a sofa and speaking on the phone with a police call-taker. After a period, the person ended their conversation on the phone, stood up from the sofa and walked a short distance towards the door. Just before the door, the officers took hold of their arms. The person attempted to free their arms and the officers maintained their grip. Other officers intervened and the person fell forward to the floor, striking their head off the edge of a wall in the process. Officers fell with the person and landed on top of them. They were handcuffed in quick order and taken into custody. Following their arrest, the person was transported to hospital and diagnosed with a reduced level of consciousness and a scalp laceration with emphysema and subgaleal hematoma.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and police witnesses, and video footage that largely captured the incident, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, the subject officer did not agree to an interview with the SIU or the release of their notes. In the evening of late 2025, the affected person was on their way home from work travelling east in Brampton. They had just taken the on-ramp to a highway when they were pulled over by a RIDE program set up on the ramp. The affected person was approached by an officer who asked them to pull ahead for further questioning. Another officer approached and asked the affected person to continue forward and stop their vehicle on the ramp shoulder in front of a police vehicle. They did so. The officer asked the affected person to step out of their vehicle and escorted them to the back of the vehicle. They were joined at this time by the subject officer. The affected person was angry about being pulled over. They would not allow the officer to fully read them a breath test demand and insisted the officer simply administer the test. The officer explained that they needed to read the demand in full and ensure they understood it. They told the affected person that refusing to take the test would constitute a criminal offence. The subject officer tried to calm the affected person but to no avail. When the affected person began to walk to the driver’s door of their vehicle, the officer grabbed and pushed them back towards the rear of the vehicle and a snow-covered area past the ramp shoulder. The affected person fell backwards over the ramp curb. They attempted to stand back up but were forced to the ground by the subject officer. There followed a struggle between the affected person and several police officers. The affected person was eventually handcuffed and placed in the rear seat of a police cruiser. The affected person attended hospital the next day and was diagnosed with a concussion.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and police and non-police witnesses, and video footage that captured the incident, 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 the afternoon of October 2025, the subject officer was off-duty and attending an appointment at a business in Thunder Bay. While there, they observed a person – the affected person applying orange spray paint to the front door of the business. They alerted the owner, and the owner ran after the affected person, with the subject officer following. As the affected person fled, they lost their footing and fell forward onto the sidewalk, striking their face. The owner and the subject officer reached them within moments where they had fallen. The owner attempted to secure the affected person’s legs, during which the affected person kicked at them. The subject officer reached towards the affected person’s upper body as they attempted to gain control of them, and the affected person continued to kick. The subject officer positioned the affected person onto their right side, and as they applied physical control, the affected person came to rest in a prone position. The subject officer maintained control over the affected person’s upper back. The subject officer and the owner then brought the affected person’s hands behind them and continued to restrain them until police arrived. Several bystanders had gathered, and one contacted police. A police officer responded, arrested the affected person for mischief, assisted them to their feet, and transported them to the police station. The following day, the affected person attended hospital and was diagnosed with bilateral nasal bone fractures of indeterminate age.

The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the affected person and the subject officer, and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. In the late afternoon of late 2025, police officers were dispatched to an address in Hamilton, following a call to police about domestic abuse. A person reported that the affected person had threatened them earlier in the day and attended at their apartment where they caused a domestic disturbance. The subject officer, in the company of another officer, arrived at the address. They were aware that there were warrants in effect for the affected person's arrest on firearm-related charges. A person spoke with the officers and indicated that the affected person was possibly at the rear of the residence. The subject officer walked to the side of the house and located the affected person sitting in a chair. They directed the affected person not to move, told them to stand up and then grabbed their arm, lifting them from the chair. The affected person immediately began to resist the officer. The two exchanged punches before falling to the ground where the struggle continued. The subject officer yelled out for the other officer's help, and they appeared quickly and joined in the struggle. The affected person flailed their legs and refused to release their arms to be handcuffed. The subject officer and the other officer punched the affected person multiple times but could not sufficiently subdue them to take control of their arms behind the back. Another officer arrived on scene about two minutes after the altercation started and assisted in eventually handcuffing the affected person. The affected person was transported to hospital after their arrest and diagnosed with injuries.

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, neither subject officer agreed to interviews with the SIU. They did authorize the release of their notes. Shortly before midnight, in late 2025, a team of police officers, including two subject officers, were dispatched to a residence in the Oakville area, the home of the affected person. They arrived intending to arrest the affected person under the Mental Health Act following a number of calls to police in which they were reported to have attacked motorists, brandishing a knife in one instance. The affected person refused to surrender to police. Over the course of the next couple of hours, they would exit and re-enter their home through the front door, challenging the officers gathered by the road outside their house. They told them they would have to engage them physically to take them into custody. At about 2:20 a.m., as the affected person was a short distance away from their front door gesticulating at the officers on the roadway, the two subject officers, in the company of two witness officers, approached them from behind. One of the subject officers attempted to distract the affected person, who reacted by turning to run towards the front porch and door. The subject officers and the witness officers discharged their CEWs and also attempted to distract the affected person as they made it onto the front porch but no further. One of the subject officers cut them off before they could re-enter the house, using their arm to tackle them against the wall adjacent the front door. Following additional CEW discharges, the affected person’s arms were handcuffed behind their back. The affected person was seen at hospital after their arrest and treated for a deep laceration to the scalp.

The material events in question are clear on the evidence collected by the SIU and may briefly be summarized. In early 2025, police were called to a residence in Brantford. A resident of the building had called police to report a disturbance coming from another unit. Two officers attended at the scene and knocked at the door. The disturbance involved the affected person and another individual. The affected person was subject to an order at the time preventing contact and communication with the other individual. Realizing police were outside the door and that they would be arrested for breaching the order, the affected person attempted to escape apprehension. They climbed through a window of their unit onto the roof of an adjoining structure, ran across the roof to an exterior staircase and started to descend. Two other officers had also responded to the disturbance call and were outside as the first two officers entered. They observed the affected person running on the roof and were waiting for them at the bottom of the staircase. When the affected person jumped over the staircase railing at the midway landing and collapsed on the ground below, the officers approached to take them into custody. The affected person complained of pain to their foot and was transported to hospital where they were diagnosed with a broken ankle.
