SIU invokes mandate in Blind River

Investigations conducted by Ontario’s Special Investigations Unit into serious incidents involving OPP officers, from injuries and deaths to allegations of sexual assault. Many argue that the SIU’s findings often serve to obscure, rather than reveal, police misconduct.

SIU invokes mandate in Blind River

Post by Michael Jack »

BLIND RIVER —The province's Special Investigations Unit (SIU) has invoked its mandate following an arrest in Blind River.

On Sunday, Oct. 19, 2025, at approximately 11:30 a.m., the East Algoma Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) arrested an individual involved in a dispute that resulted in criminal charges.

While in custody, the individual required medical attention and was transported by ambulance to a local hospital in Blind River.

As the SIU has invoked its mandate, the OPP will not be able to provide further information. Media inquiries should be directed to the SIU at siu.media@ontario.ca.
