Demand that Winnipeg police investigate police dog attack on child

This December, a child was bitten by a police dog in his school. (https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/wps-k9-child-attack-parents-1.6696270) Even though the child was taken to hospital, required stitches and lost a tooth in the attack, the Internal Investigations unit determined not to investigate this as a serious matter, since the child's injuries were not sufficient for admission into hospital. Given the nature of the dog's reaction (the dog bit the child on his face!) and the failure of the handler to prevent this incident, it is appalling that this would not be formally investigated and the family was not informed of this decision.

A representative of the IIU is quoted to say that this decision could change, should there be sufficient public interest. Though this approach to professional ethics is simply appalling, members of the public need to demand an independent investigation into this matter. Should the public not be sufficiently interested, what other investigations would fail to be initiated? Is this how the Winnipeg Police measure their professional conduct? By how the public respond?

Please investigate this matter immediately. Clearly some rethinking must be done about such events where a potentially dangerous animal is in close proximity to innocent children.
