    A Calgary police officer has been charged with assault causing bodily harm after an on-duty incident last year.

    On a call to a home in the Temple neighborhood on June 17, 2021, officers apprehended an adult female who was taken into custody.

    While the woman was handcuffed and before being placed in a police vehicle, there was a struggle and “force was used,” a police statement said.

    “The woman sustained injuries during the incident and was taken to hospital for further evaluation and treatment.”

    Const. Jameson Kooistra (31) was charged with assault causing bodily harm in connection with the incident. The three-year CPS member was assigned to administrative duties.

    The CPS said it became aware that the unnamed woman had died in September 2022.

    “Her death was non-criminal in nature and as such we cannot release any further details. However, it was not because of the physical injuries sustained during this incident,” the police said.

    While the police can use “reasonable and necessary force” to carry out their duties, they can be charged if there are sufficient grounds to believe that the force was excessive or unnecessary.

    Any concerns about officers’ use of force are answered with an internal investigation to review the incident. If the evidence supports this, criminal charges may be laid after consultation with the Crown Prosecution Service. After the court process for the charges is completed, internal discipline or dismissal may be considered.
