Professional Standards Unit

The Professional Standards Unit (PSU) investigates complaints of allegations of misconduct by members of Transit Police.  PSU is a section within Transit Police staffed by experienced officers with specialized training in the handling of citizen complaints and Police Act investigations.

Not only does the PSU respond to complaints, they work proactively with all Transit Police officers to provide guidance and training and to identify emerging trends in police work that may lead to complaints. This close partnership also enhances the abilities of our officers to exceed the expectations of the police service and the communities that we serve.

If you have any questions or comments regarding the investigative process, do not hesitate to contact us.
