NB: 2007 may not be an entirely arbitrary cut-off date. It was the year of release of the report on the botched surrender of Corey Rogers and the police tribunal clearing Kevin Dhinsa on a technicality.

As well, 2007 featured two high-profile wrongful arrest cases: Jason George Hill and Michael Dixon.

And a handful of charges brought against police:

Overall, a pretty good year.
