The Director of the Special Investigations Unit (SIU), Tony Loparco, has reasonable grounds to believe that a Peel Regional Police (PRP) officer committed a criminal offence in relation to the injuries suffered by a 22-year-old man in February of this year. Director Loparco has caused a charge to be laid against the officer.

The charge relates to an exchange that occurred between the man and the officer at Cliff Road and Mississauga Valley Blvd., in Mississauga.
As a result of the SIU investigation, PRP Constable Tomasz Laskowski is facing one charge of assault causing bodily harm.

The officer is required to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice at 7755 Hurontario Street, Brampton, on July 7. The Justice Prosecutions branch of the Ministry of the Attorney General will have carriage of the prosecution.
