Manitoba’s police watchdog agency is looking into an allegation that an RCMP officer in Northern Manitoba sexually assaulted someone while on duty.
The incident, which occurred June 27, was reported to an RCMP detachment July 7. The RCMP notified the Independent Investigation of Unit of Manitoba (IIU), which investigates serious incidents involving on- and off-duty police officers in the province, the following day.
The IIU civilian director determined that it is in the public interest to conduct an independent investigation.
No further details are being provided while the investigation is underway.
