The Independent Investigations Office of B.C. has cleared the Saanich Police Department of wrongdoing after officers deployed a police dog and fired non-lethal rounds during an arrest last year, but not without reservations.

Integrated Canine Service Const. Aaron Spargo and police dog Jonny practice an evidence search on Feb. 3, 2022, at a training facility in Esquimalt, B.C.

The man, who has Asperger's Syndrome, grew angry after the tenant refused to accept the eviction notice and struck the tenant's front door with a hammer. The IIO says officers did a "good job" trying to negotiate with the man before the riot weapon and police dog were used. After nearly two hours of negotiations, the man agreed to come down a set of stairs in front of the tenant's second-floor home.

"While [the man] was, categorically, not at any point 'actively resistant,' he was doggedly non-compliant," said IIO director Ronald J. MacDonald in the report.
