The Moose Jaw Police Service has notified the public and the Saskatchewan Police Commission that one of its officers used a conducted energy weapon — or taser — during a recent arrest.
Officers attended to a residence on South Hill on March 14 around 2:35 p.m. to assist members of the Ministry of Social Services.
Upon arrival, officers were met by an individual armed with a weapon who was threatening self-harm. Police deployed a CEW, which allowed them to control the situation safely.
The individual was transported to the hospital with minor self-inflicted injuries.
No other information is currently available.
The Saskatchewan Police Commission is an oversight body independent of the Moose Jaw Police Service.
