About Us
The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) independently investigates all serious incidents which arise from the actions of police in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. SiRT’s mandate is to investigate all matters that involve death, serious injury, sexual assault and domestic violence or other matters of significant public interest. There does not have to be an allegation of wrongdoing. If an incident meets the SiRT's mandate, the SiRT will conduct a thorough and objective investigation to determine what happened. At the conclusion of every investigation, the Director of the SiRT will determine whether criminal charges should result from the actions of the police officer. SiRT is independent of the police and government. The Director of SiRT is a civilian and is responsible for the general direction of all investigations. This ensures a more transparent and independent way to investigate serious incidents involving police. The SiRT recently opened an office in New Brunswick.

About Us
The Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) independently investigates all serious incidents which arise from the actions of police in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick. SiRT’s mandate is to investigate all matters that involve death, serious injury, sexual assault and domestic violence or other matters of significant public interest. There does not have to be an allegation of wrongdoing. If an incident meets the SiRT's mandate, the SiRT will conduct a thorough and objective investigation to determine what happened. At the conclusion of every investigation, the Director of the SiRT will determine whether criminal charges should result from the actions of the police officer. SiRT is independent of the police and government. The Director of SiRT is a civilian and is responsible for the general direction of all investigations. This ensures a more transparent and independent way to investigate serious incidents involving police. The SiRT recently opened an office in New Brunswick.
