The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba (IIU) has completed its investigation into a serious injury sustained during an arrest in the RM of Dauphin in July 2020.
In March 2022, a man filed a complaint with the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) for the RCMP in regard to an arrest on July 29, 2020. The RCMP then reported the incident to the IIU.
The man says that he sustained broken ribs during the arrest, which the IIU defines as a serious injury. During their investigation, the IIU reviewed the following:
- Use of force report
- Occurrence summary reports
- Officers’ notes and reports
- Police vehicle video recording
- Court package
- Copy of CRCC complaint
- Medical report of the affected person dated July 31, 2020
- Court transcripts dated April 25, 2022
After the investigation, the civilian director of the IIU found no evidence to justify a charge against the officer.
