Deputy Commissioner of Police Mike Jackman – After consideration of evidence by the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions, including the TASER DVD footage, photographs, statements from the attending officers as well as the alleged victim Mr. Troy Smith, the DPP has concluded that “there is insufficient evidence to justify criminal proceedings” against the accused officer.

It was alleged the assault took place during the early morning hours of Sunday, July 4th 2010 when officers attended a reported domestic incident at a Pembroke residence and had cause to arrest Mr. Smith.

Following the findings of the DPP, the criminal investigation is now closed.
