The officer hasn’t been identified because SIU officials are still looking into the case, the statement said.
A Peel Regional Police spokesperson told Global News she was unable to comment since the SIU has been notified.
The SIU is an independent agency that investigates incidents involving police that have resulted in death, serious injury or alleged sexual assault.
