The Saskatoon Police Service considers the allegation of a man being taken to the city limits and left there on a cold night to be very serious in nature, and says they will cooperate fully with the Public Complaints Commission investigation.
Ken Thomas has alleged on social media that he was outside a bar on Ruth Street on Saturday night when two officers in a black SUV told him he fit the description of someone who had been digging in vehicles.
He says they drove him to the outskirts of the city and dropped him off to make his own way back in.
In a statement, the Police Service says they were notified about an online complaint that had been filed, and will cooperate fully.
Part of the investigation will include a review of GPS logs that track the location of patrol vehicles, as well as in-car camera video which is automatically activated when the back door of a patrol car is opened.

The Candian government wants the country’s banks to identify, in customers’ bank statements when they receive the carbon rebate, that it is labelled as such.
Environment Minister Steven Guilbeault says the lack of a clear identifier is contributing to confusion about carbon price rebates, so he is going to change the law if he has to in order to force the big banks to identify the carbon rebate by name when doing direct deposits.
The first rebate deposits in 2022 were labelled very generically, which meant recipients had no idea why they were getting the money.
T-D and B-MO have adopted the government’s requested “CdaCarbonRebate” entry, R-B-C and Scotiabank say they couldn’t make the change in time for the rollout, and C-I-B-C is still calling it “Deposit Canada.”
