On August 13, 2020, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) advised the IIU of an incident that occurred on Sandy Bay First Nation where two individuals needed medical treatment after being bitten by a police service dog during the execution of a search warrant.
RCMP and Manitoba First Nations Police (MFNP) officers were responding to a tip that a suspect was trafficking methamphetamine from a camper located on Sandy Bay First Nation, the IIU says.
