We recently concluded an investigation of an officer-involved shooting arising from an affected person having a knife at a SkyTrain station. The IIO investigation concluded within about three months, and the chief civilian director determined, that the officer did not commit an offence. So no report to crown counsel was done. The IIO issued a public report; it was done. Our file was provided to the police service that has always maintained the investigation.
If there were any suggestion that there was an issue of misconduct by the police officer, we would also forward our file to the oversight body that deals with misconduct. At any given time you could have three investigative bodies looking at the same incident: the criminal activity involving the affected person, the criminal activity allegedly involving the officer, and the officer's conduct.
Our commitment through our MOU is to share our files so that all of the agencies can benefit from a more timely conclusion.
