Summary
This report identifies an appropriate model for the RCMP's handling of criminal investigations into its own members involving serious injury, sexual assault or death between 2002 and 2007. The authors undertake a detailed analysis of media, political and academic debate on the issue to determine a baseline for discussion; seek public submissions on the issue to help inform the debate; assess the adequacy of current RCMP policy guiding member action when investigating another member; review a sample of 28 RCMP investigations; and research alternate investigative models.
