London Police Investigations into Sexual Assaults

In response to a recent article in the media that has questioned police investigations into sexual assaults, Chief John Pare has announced that the London Police Service, in partnership and in consultation with a number of our community partners, will be conducting a thorough review of the manner in which sexual assault investigations are conducted by the London Police Service and the method in which they are categorized and cleared.

The review will also examine the training that investigators receive, how we can continue to enhance training, as well as explore ways in which the police may better respond to the needs of victims. In doing so, police want to determine how they may better engage with community partners.

Chief Pare said “The London Police Service is committed to providing the best service possible in response to victims of crime and this review will assist us in maintaining the confidence and trust of the community. Through this review we want to look at our current practices and develop best practices. What are we doing well? What can we improve upon? And what path can we chart for the future?”
