SIU clears Kingston Police in January arrest

SIU concluded injury to a man was not the result of excessive force.

Kingston Police have been cleared of any wrongdoing after a man suffered a broken shoulder during an arrest on January 25th.

Officers responded to a mental health call involving a 53-year-old man who was reportedly delusional, paranoid, and acting violently.

During an attempt to apprehend him under the Mental Health Act, the man resisted, leading to a physical takedown by police.

The Special Investigations Unit’s Director Joseph Martino concluded the injury occurred without the use of excessive force.
