Previously, only a police commissioner would review the file. However, complainants can now request that the Commissioner appoint a retired judge to review the file and determine whether or not the decision was correct (''Police Act'', s 117(1)). The complainant must make the request in writing within '''10 business days''' of receiving the discipline authority's decision (''Police Act'', s 117(2)). It is rare to have a retired judge review the file in less serious cases due to limited resources. | Previously, only a police commissioner would review the file.
