(BPS / HANDOUT)
A Brandon police officer has been charged following a probe by the Independent Investigation Unit into the arrest of a woman on August 25, 2023.
Brandon officers responded to a disturbance call near First Street and Cornwallis Crescent that night, arresting a woman and returning her home. Days later, she reported injuries to police, and it was later confirmed she had suffered a broken collarbone.
As a result, Const. Brett Long was issued a summons on March 19 and charged with assault causing bodily harm.
The IIU began investigating the incident in September 2023 and has declined further comment as the case is now before the courts.
