Wondering if filing complaints would be beneficial?
Maybe if they got thousands…?
Ottawa Police Service Professional Standards Section
The Police Services Act establishes a partnership between the Ottawa Police Service, the Police Services Board, members of the public, and the Ontario Civilian Police Commission (OCPC). The emphasis of the "Complaints" portion of the Act is to resolve complaints including damage or loss of property due to police actions, in a timely, professional, and where possible in an informal manner.
The Professional Standards Section investigates and facilitates the resolution of complaints in an impartial and professional manner.
We believe that all people have the right to be treated in a courteous and professional manner.
We will conduct our investigations with fairness and impartiality.
We believe our investigations must be completed in a timely fashion with thoroughness and consistency.
