The province’s Special Investigations Unit has invoked its mandate in Perth County.
The SIU said in a media release Friday they are investigating after Perth OPP responded to a disturbance in Listowel on Sunday, Nov. 8.
Two individuals were taken into custody and released, the SIU said.
Two days later, provincial police were told one of the individuals was injured.
OPP notified the SIU, which invoked its mandate.
The SIU is a civilian law enforcement agency, independent from police, that has jurisdiction over municipal, regional and provincial police officers. It investigates offences that may have resulted from criminal conduct including death, serious injury, firearm usage and sexual assault.
