Ian D. Scott was the Director of Ontario's Special Investigation Unit from October 2008 to October 2013. The SIU is the exclusive investigative agency for determining whether on-duty police officers will be charged with a criminal offence if they are involved in death or serious injury incidents or allegations of sexual assault. Before becoming the SIU's Director, he was involved in police oversight issues both as a prosecutor of police officers in the criminal justice system and internal disciplinary matters. He has lectured extensively and made submissions on behalf of the Ministry of the Attorney General and the SIU on oversight issues. In his last year as Director, he was also the president of the Canadian Association for Civilian Oversight of Law Enforcement. Ian has been a member of the Ontario bar since 1983. He is currently in private practice, as well as adjunct professor at Western Law School. - See more at: http://www.carswell.com/product-detail/issues-in-civilian-oversight-of-policing-in-canada/#sthash.W4BVEwKy.dpuf
