McBride claimed the SPS did not notify the general public concerning the suspensions since, “there is an internal investigation going on and the facts are not fully realized. It would have been imprudent to provide details about something that we don’t fully understand.”
“At the core, every staff member deserves fairness and due process,” he claimed.
He included that putting on hold a team of police officers is not the standard.
“This has not occurred for some time, and it is unusual.”
McBride would certainly not provide the ranking or ages of the police officers, any kind of information concerning what caused the suspensions or why the Saskatchewan Serious Incident Response Team (SIRT) is entailed.
The civilian-led firm is expected to supply oversight of cops firms and, according to its site, is called when “a person suffers serious injury or death, either in police custody or as a result of a police officer’s actions, or in relation to an allegation of sexual assault or interpersonal violence.”
