Office Of The Police Complaint Commissioner: Rollie Woods

Robert Dziekanski Dept: The review, recommended by the Braidwood commission which examined the Taser death of Polish immigrant Robert Dziekanski, looked at a stratified random sample of complaints referred to the Office of the Police Complaint Commissioner. It found that none were treated as "trivial" and all were "respectfully addressed" and investigated in a "thorough manner" in accordance with the Police Act, according to Vancouver Sun. "There is a provision for extensions under the legislation and the problem is the pace of the investigations is really outside of our control," said deputy police complaint commissioner Rollie Woods, who added that the overall results of the audit were favourable and british Columbia's municipal police complaint process is "well-documented and comprehensive," if a little slow, according to a new report released by the provincial auditor general Monday. Still, the report found that less than half 45 per cent of investigations sampled were completed within the six-month time frame generally intended by the Act. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
