flag Two Surrey officers shot a parole-breaking man with a knife in Jan. 2025; watchdog says force was lawful.

flag British Columbia’s police watchdog has ruled that two Surrey officers lawfully used lethal force in January 2025 when they shot a man wielding a seven-inch knife at a Corrections Canada halfway house. flag The man, a high-risk offender with a history of self-harm and assaults, was breaching parole when officers entered his unit. flag Witnesses reported he charged toward them with the knife despite a stun gun being deployed. flag The Independent Investigations Office found the officers’ use of deadly force was objectively reasonable given the immediate threat in a confined space. flag No criminal charges are expected, as the investigation found no grounds to believe a crime occurred.
