Waterloo police then contacted the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), which then invoked its mandate.
A spokesperson for the SIU would only say that agency investigators have been assigned to investigate this incident.
The SIU is an independent agency that investigates incidents involving police that have resulted in death, serious injury or alleged sexual assault.
