Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate following a police response to a disturbance on Lakeview Lane in Selkirk Thursday afternoon.
According to the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), officers from the Haldimand Detachment and the OPP West Region Emergency Response Team were called to the scene around 3:50 p.m. on November 6, 2025.
During the interaction, a less-lethal device was deployed, and one individual was transported to hospital for assessment.
As a result of the incident, the SIU has taken over the investigation. The OPP has confirmed that no further details can be released while the SIU review is underway.
The SIU is an independent civilian agency that investigates incidents involving police officers where there has been death, serious injury, or allegations of sexual assault.
