Former police watchdog questions Sask. Justice approach in Myles Sanderson death investigation
Myles Sanderson shown under arrest moments after RCMP forced his stolen truck off the highway. He died a short time later.
At issue: the fact that Saskatoon police will be leading the probe while Saskatchewan's fledgling Serious Incident Response Team , the independent, civilian-led unit responsible for investigating serious incidents involving police officers in Saskatchewan, will only have an observational capacity. Scott headed the Special Investigation Unit in Ontario from 2008 to 2013. It's a civilian agency charged with investigating police in incidents of serious injury, death, the discharge of a firearm at a person or an allegation of sexual assault.
In a news release on Sept. 8, the Saskatoon Police Service said its major crimes section would be leading the investigation into Sanderson's death. The release said it would be working "in co-operation" with SIRT.It will be observing the investigation, not examining elements independently, "so it's bound to affect anybody's analysis of independence to merely put these investigators in an observing category," he said.
