Charges have not been recommended against a Manitoba First Nations Police Service officer who used a police dog to help apprehend suspects near Sandy Bay last September.
The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba says the use of a police dog in this case was reasonable, despite a male suspect having to be treated in hospital for bite wounds on his calf.
On September 26th, officers tried to conduct a traffic stop on a vehicle that had left a home on the Sandy Bay First Nation that was known for drug trafficking.
A brief chase took place, with the vehicle eventually found abandoned on a trail.
The police dog was brought in and found the suspects in a field.
