An investigation into the fatal shooting of a driver by a Calgary officer on Christmas Day 2018 has found serious breaches of policy made during the response, but the officer's actions were ultimately justified. yyc
The Alberta Serious Incident Response Team , a police watchdog organization, released its findings Friday into the Dec. 25, 2018 police response where a woman was shot three times in the head while in her Honda sedan.ASIRT says the 30-year-old woman had been the subject of a police investigation into erratic driving near Inglewood shortly before midnight on Dec. 24 following her release from hospital.
ASIRT says the acting staff sergeant authorized the use of a box-in maneuver by four units at 2:35 a.m. to bring the car to a stop, despite the fact that only one of the responding CPS members, a sergeant, had been trained on vehicular intervention techniques. The two officers in the unit on the driver's side of the suspect vehicle both exited their patrol vehicle through the passenger door which was closest to the suspect. The vehicle they had been in was not parked close enough to the suspect vehicle and, when the suspect attempted to accelerate and drive off, one of the officers was pinned between the door and frame of their unit and lifted off the ground.
An autopsy confirmed the suspect died as a result of the gunshot wounds to her head and a toxicology examination found cocaine and benzodiazepine in her system.
