Consult the Can we handle your report? page and the Handling your report section to determine whether a police ethics report is the appropriate recourse for you.You can also watch this short video that explains the difference between the recourses available to the Commissioner (please, activate the subtitles).
2. Gather evidence. The report must be accompanied by all the evidence you have in relation to the event or situation you wish to report.
