ASIRT also found there were serious breaches of CPS' policies regarding box-in maneuvers and vehicle intervention techniques.
The subject officer’s shots toward Perry were made in response to risks posed towards the trapped officer in the incident, which ASIRT said protected the subject officer under the Criminal Code.
Both the subject officer and the trapped officer made tactical errors in the execution of the box-in maneuver that left them vulnerable, ASIRT said.The report said while the officers involved were lawfully entitled to pursue Perry, criminal flights are “inherently dangerous situations” for everyone involved. Only one of the officers involved was trained in the technique and the acting staff sergeant at the time should have known the policy, the report said.
It is also unclear if the specific maneuver used in this incident was permitted under CPS policy and other options could have been used, ASIRT said.
