That's one advantage of the Special Investigation Unit (the external "internal affairs" unit with jurisdiction across Ontario) - any police force can call upon its services.
Another advantage is that they're at arm's length from the other forces. Nobody has to worry about any conflict of interest where an officer investigates a co-worker, because they aren't co-workers (other than being part of "the thin blue line" made up of all police officers).
Anyway ... we're drifting off-topic, and I have to go to work.

them. Adversaries remain citizens of the same state, common subjects of
the same sovereign, servants of the same law."
