RCMP Watch

While the Royal Canadian Mounted Police’s standing as one of the world’s all-time great police forces remains intact, it is certainly not without it’s problems, messes, weaknesses and disasters.

The RCMP, the federal police force of Canada, is the only major Canadian police force without a truly effective and independent oversight body.

The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (CPC), also known as the RCMP Public Complaints Commission, does not have any legislative powers over the RCMP. While the CPC can and does make findings and recommendation to the RCMP, the Commissioner is not obliged to accept the recommendations.

And while the CPC’s Vision Statement is “Excellence in policing through accountability,” the RCMP often refuses to cooperating with CPC inquiries and more often than not, refuses to comply with it’s directions.

While the world is moving towards an open and transparent society with the mission of becoming more accountable to the public, the RCMP remains a notoriously closed organization, protecting it’s internal dirty secrets.

Many investigations have raise serious questions about cover-ups, ethical practices, and often illegal conduct of this federal government agency. Here you will find stories that have been collected and archived from public information sources, and as such, the information posted here does not represents any personal viewpoints. We simply archive public information related to misconduct within the RCMP.

There are many other matters that remain buried under a cloak of secrecy, often under the guise of protecting investigational procedures or national security.

The RCMP needs to be scrutinized to a higher level they use to investigate those they suspect of criminal wrongdoing as they hold the power to limit our civil liberties. And when they are found at fault, they must be held accountable.
