An RCMP officer committed no criminal offence during a response to a Perth-Andover home, that’s according to an investigation by the Serious Incident Response Team.
They were called in to investigate after officers received reports of a domestic disturbance in October 2025.
“Three RCMP officers from the Perth Andover detachment responded to a 911 call related to a domestic disturbance and physical dispute involving multiple people. The house and some of its residents were known to police. Two officers entered the home and one remained outside to speak with the 911 caller. In the residence, one of the officers approached an adult male to detain him, as he was believed to have physically assaulted the 911 caller,” a news release stated.
The man reportedly resisted arrest, and officers used a taser and struck the man twice before he was finally placed in handcuffs.
“Between the CEW deployments, an adult female in the house was yelling and approached the officers with her arm raised. The officer pointed his CEW in her direction and advised she would be tased if she did not step away,” the release continued.
The woman allegedly locked herself in the home where a child was sleeping. Once she came outside, she was placed into handcuffs, but alleged that officers used excessive force.
SiRT says they found no indication of this in their investigation.
