ASIRT concludes investigation into Red Deer police dog bite incident in November 2020
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) has concluded its investigation into a November 2020 incident involving a suspect being bitten by a police dog.
The investigation concluded that the police officers involved did nothing unlawful or unreasonable that would give rise to an offence.
It was about 11:35 p.m. on Nov. 15, 2020 when a Red Deer RCMP [subject] officer (SO1) observed a Chevrolet Silverado truck displaying a stolen license plate, and being driven along Jay Court in the city’s Johnstone area, an overview by ASIRT begins to recount.
SO1 attempted a traffic stop but the suspect (AP) exited the vehicle and fled on foot.
