A Brandon Police Service officer has been charged with assault causing bodily harm after the province’s police watchdog investigated a 2023 incident.

Const. Brett Long was issued a summons Wednesday, the Independent Investigation Unit of Manitoba said in a news release Thursday.

Police were contacted about a woman causing a disturbance in the area of 1st Street and Cornwallis Crescent late on Aug. 25 of that year. Officers arrested a woman and took her home.

The woman filed a complaint about injuries she suffered during the arrest a few days later, on Aug. 31. The BPS learned on Sept. 15 that she had suffered a broken collarbone and contacted the IIU. The IIU notified the public about the incident on Sept. 26.
