In the pages that follow, you will find highlighted the issues that impacted the SIU over the year, as well as a detailed breakdown of the Unit’s caseload and financial expenditures. I hope and trust the reader will find it both interesting and informative. To those seeking additional information, I encourage you to visit the SIU’[s website at ](s website at www.siu.on.ca)[www.siu.on.ca](s website at www.siu.on.ca).  \nT his has been a particularly busy and  \nturbulent year in the life of this important  \ninstitution, and as such, I must begin by recognizing the incredible efforts of all SIU staff, and in particular the frontline investigators whose work is at the very heart of the SIU’s mandate to conduct independent investigations of serious injuries, sexual assault complaints and deaths in cases involving the police. With our caseload approaching record-high levels, and ever increasing in legal and technical complexity, the Unit’s investigators yet again acquitted themselves impeccably in meeting their daily challenges to ensure SIU investigations continued to be defined by professionalism and fairness. I offer them my sincere thanks for a job very well done, as I do to the other members of the SIU team who, though often less visible, are no less important to our success. That we are able to continuously rely on cutting-edge training to all staff to ensure our skills remain sharp, communication and outreach services to Ontario’s many communities so that the public’s confidence in our work remains strong, legal advice designed to keep our investigations unassailable, decision-making that benefits from the wise deployment of resources and qualitycontrols, and the business support services  \nthat bring everything together, is a testament to the SIU’s training, public engagement, legal, management and administrative professionals. By the time they have brought their expertise to bear on a file, what is left for me to do is very little. And for that, I am thankful.  \nThe Special Investigations Unit is a civilian law enforcement agency that investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault.  \nI wish also to recognize the release of the Report of the Independent Police Oversight Review in March 2017, representing the culmination of the work of the Honourable Michael H. Tullochand his team, appointed in 2016 by the Ontario government to examine ways to make the province’s system of police accountability more transparent, accountable and effective. I take this opportunity to formally commend Justice Tulloch for his public service in putting together a thoughtful report that, I am certain, will map the course of civilian oversight of the police for the next quarter century. Recommendations contained in the report to reconstitute the SIU  \nas a fully independent agency of government under its own governing legislation, coupled with suggestions for additional SIU powers to ensure that the Unit’s investigations are more efficient and effective will go a long way to promoting the integrity and independence of SIU investigations well into the future. In addition, of significant importance are the recommendations aimed at ensuring SIU operations are at all times culturally sensitive having regard to Ontario’s Indigenous and culturally diverse communities, and open and accessible to the extent possible so that Ontarians of all stripes can understand and appreciate the important work of the office. After all, the SIU exists to serve the public. In this, I am satisfied that the report’s recommendations have struck an appropriate balance between the need to publicize more information and the importance to the investigative process of maintaining confidential certain information. I am even more heartened with indicati","cbCaio0Naqjll9c1","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaio0Naqjll9c1","pdf",10332581,"English","# Director’s Message\n# Special Investigations Unit Overview\n# Independent Police Oversight Review (March 2017)\n# SIU Presence at Major Conferences","[{\"question\":\"What does the Special Investigations Unit investigate?\",\"answer\":\"The SIU investigates reports involving police where there has been death, serious injury, or allegations of sexual assault.\"},{\"question\":\"What key developments are discussed in the Director’s Message for 2017?\",\"answer\":\"The Director describes a busy and turbulent year, rising caseload levels, increased legal and technical complexity, and continued reliance on training, communication, legal support, and resource management to maintain professionalism and fairness.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the report relate to police oversight reforms in 2017?\",\"answer\":\"It recognizes the March 2017 release of the Independent Police Oversight Review and outlines recommendations intended to strengthen SIU independence, efficiency, cultural sensitivity, and accessibility for the public.\"}]","SPECIAL INVESTIGATIONS UNIT - Annual Report 2017 | PDF",1791027934]
