Dear Sir,

The present one follows upon our letter of April 16, 1997.

After having examined the pled facts, we are of the opinion that the behaviour of an investigation necessary is not had regard to the circumstances and, in accordance with the powers that confers to us the article 65 of the Law on the police organization, we refuse to hold it for the following reasons:

In his complaint, Mr Serge Joseph Adrien Bourassa-Lacombe reproaches that not identified police officers, members of the Montreal Urban Community, and with special constables in duty at the University of Quebec in Montreal, their epic at the time of an incident which has occurred in the buildings of the UQAM, August 16, 1995. On the one hand, he reproaches to the special constables for having been handcuffed for supposed death threats that he would have, according to them, made with one appointed of the Faculty of Law and, on the other hand, with the police officers of the Montreal Urban Community, to have contacted him at the request of the special constables as, finally, letting them release him.

However, there is nothing derogatory with the Code of ethics for the Quebec police officers in these reproaches addressed to the not identified police officers for Montreal Urban Community. This only fact, we do not have any other alternative but that to refuse to hold an investigation on their subject.
