The (IIO) has determined that police officers did not commit an offence during an arrest in 麻豆社国产where the suspect was injured.
Back last summer, on June 21, 2024, for a vehicle that had been reported stolen.
When officers found a Nissan Frontier believed to be related to the theft, a police service dog was used to search a nearby wooded area.
The dog found the person and, in the process of the arrest, the suspect was bitten by the police dog.
An earlier IIO report on the arrest noted the person was taken to the hospital for treatment.
The IIO is an independent civilian oversight agency that investigates all officer-related incidents that result in serious harm or death, whether or not there is any allegation of wrongdoing.
As is standard protocol in such situations, the IIO was notified of the incident the day it happened and began an investigation.
A public notice from the IIO states that a chief civilian director with the agency reviewed the evidence—which included a statement from the affected person, medical information, and police records—and determined that "there are no reasonable grounds to believe any officer may have committed an offence."
Because there are court proceedings related to the incident, the IIO won't release the public report on the investigation until those issues are resolved.
