News Releases & Report on Cases

The SIU is committed to transparency and accessibility. The SIU's goal is to share information about its work to help the public understand why the SIU is involved.

Cases that attract significant media attention have news releases on the status and results of the investigations. All other cases are publicly reported by way of case summaries which can be found under Report on Cases. The SIU strives to ensure that every case is publicly reported and available for anyone to access.

In order to rationalize the media relations carried out by the Special Investigations Unit and in order to enhance the Unit's ability to communicate its message to the public that we are an independent, civilian body that probes into incidents where police conduct may have caused death or serious injury, as of December 15, 2005, the SIU will adopt a new, comprehensive media relations policy. That policy can be accessed here.
