For example, the person filing an <br />individual complaint was not the aggrieved party, or the policy complaint failed to identify <br />a police policy or practice necessitating a Commission review. In 2019, the PRC <br />experienced a higher than usual number of rejects. <br />This year's report inaugurates a revised graph and new table of closed complaint statistics <br />reflecting the following changes: <br />• Rejects are now reflected in the closed complaint graph (above) and shown <br />separately in the closed complaint table (below); <br />• Policy complaints that were considered but denied by the Commission are no <br />longer categorized as rejects; these complaints are still included in the total <br />number of policy complaints closed; and <br />• Dismissals are included with the 601 closed cases table below. <br />These changes have resulted in revisions to previously published complaint closure <br />statistics for years 2015 to 2018. <br />2 Note that a complaint is not necessarily closed in the same year that it is received. <br />65D-25 <br />
