SIU Charges Former Chatham Police Officer in Sexual Assault Investigation

Mississauga, ON (22 June, 2026) ---
The Special Investigations Unit is appealing to individuals to come forward if they have relevant information in connection with a sexual assault investigation involving Kenneth Miller, a former Chatham-Kent police officer. 

The SIU recognizes that experiences of sexual violence can be deeply personal and difficult to speak about. There is no time limit to report sexual assault, and individuals may choose whether, how, and when they wish to share information. Coming forward is entirely voluntary.

Anyone who believes they may have been affected, or who has information that could assist the investigation, may contact the SIU confidentially:

By phone: 1?800?787?8529

Support is available. If you or someone you know has been impacted by an incident under SIU investigation and would like emotional or practical support, the SIU’s Affected Persons Program offers free, confidential assistance 24 hours a day, 7 days a week: 1?877?641?1897.

If you or someone you know has been negatively affected by an incident under SIU investigation and would like support, the Affected Persons Program is here to help. You can reach us at 1-877-641-1897. Support is free, confidential, and available 24/7, every day of the year.

The SIU is an independent government agency that investigates the conduct of officials (municipal, regional and provincial police officers, police officers with the Nishnawbe Aski Police Service, special constables with the Niagara Parks Commission and peace officers with the Legislative Protective Service) that may have resulted in death, serious injury, sexual assault and/or the discharge of a firearm at a person. All investigations are conducted by SIU investigators who are civilians. Under the Special Investigations Unit Act, the Director of the SIU must

  • consider whether the official has committed a criminal offence in connection with the incident under investigation
  • depending on the evidence, cause a criminal charge to be laid against the official where grounds exist for doing so, or close the file without any charges being laid
  • publicly report the results of its investigations
