The Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba (IIU) has concluded its investigation into serious injuries related to the arrest of an adult male in Dauphin.
On June 3, 2025, RCMP notified the IIU of an incident that occurred the same day at approximately 3:11am. According to the notification, Dauphin RCMP received a report of a male in a mental health crisis at a hotel in the 1600 block of Main Street South. When officers arrived, the male had already left the hotel and his whereabouts were unknown.
The male was eventually located in a dense bush area. Police dog services were deployed, resulting in the male sustaining a dog bite. The male was taken to hospital and admitted for treatment.
As this matter concerned serious injuries during an arrest, the IIU assumed responsibility for the investigation in accordance with Sec. 65(4) of the Police Services Act. IIU investigators were assigned to the investigation.
The civilian director designated one subject officer and three witness officers. Investigators also spoke with the affected person.
The Manitoba Prosecution Service’s opinion is that the standard for prosecuting charges has not been met. As a result, the civilian director will not be authorizing charges. The IIU investigation is now closed.
