The public inquiry concluded that a series of police failures contributed to the deterioration of the situation and ultimately, the inquiry’s commissioner ruled that the use of the emergency powers was justified. The police board report also found there were 21-per-cent fewer use-of-force incidents in 2022 than in 2021.
Police used force in 222 incidents. Of those, 52 were for mental-health apprehensions, 20 for weapons- or firearm-related calls, 17 for assault of an officer and 16 for assault with a weapon, according to the report. Ottawa police officers were called on almost 215,000 times in total, according to the report. Around 8,700 of those calls resulted in an arrest and more than 2,000 were mental-health apprehensions.
