OIPRD finds evidence of misconduct by 2 police sergeants after a raid at a wrong address traumatizes a Brantford family.
Brantford Police Service headquarters on Elgin Street in Brantford, Ont., are seen on Nov. 23, 2012.
The July 5 report, which was reviewed by CP24.com, outlined the events that transpired on Sept. 8, 2022 in the hours before and after a botched raid was carried out at an apartment on Wellington Street in Brantford but does not make any formal recommendation on whether the officers should face disciplinary action.
The complainant said after several minutes, she overheard one of the officers saying, “You’ve got to be f****** kidding me. Seriously, we got the wrong address?” While the report said there was no evidence of misconduct on the part of the tactical officers who entered the wrong unit, two sergeants supervising the operation were negligent in their duty.
“They did not know where the stairwell was leading, how many people were in the unit, or whether they were armed.”'The report noted that the officers opted to proceed with a no-knock raid, also referred to as dynamic entry, due to the “high risk” nature of the investigation.
