Police Watchdog Investigating in-Custody Event in Pitt Meadows
The police watchdog is reviewing whether officer actions or inaction caused serious harm after a detainee was taken to hospital.
- The Independent Investigations Office is investigating a case where a man was allegedly injured while in the custody of Pitt Meadows RCMP.
- After arresting the man for theft on May 29, officers found he violated a court release order and placed him in a cell; they later re-entered due to safety concerns.
- Following the cell interaction, the man complained of an injury and was transported by ambulance to a hospital for assessment and treatment, prompting the RCMP to notify The IIO the following day.
- The IIO determines whether the injury meets the threshold of 'serious harm' as defined by the Police Act and examines officer conduct; Charges can be laid if warranted.
- Anyone with information regarding the matter should contact the Witness Line toll-free at 1-855-446-8477 or via the contact form on the iiobc.ca website to assist the investigation.
