Many people have been calling for a huge restructuring of the RCMP and I hope this is the start of it.

They need to be held accountable to someone other than themselves, time to pull back on the leash with these guys.

The problem with any police force investigating itself is that their conclusions are always going to be brushed with suspicion, unless you throw your officers to the wolves. Investigating oneself is a no-win situation.

An SIU for the RCMP is long overdue. This would allow the public to know that an independent body with oversight looked into the matter and found the allegation to be either founded or unfounded. Also, the RCMP can drop this silly "We can't comment on an ongoing investigation" line and throw up some serious defence.

In BC, when one municipal force has a problem, they invite in another municipality to review and investigate. It's definately not perfect because it's all still behind the blue curtain but it's better than nothing.

What frightned me the most with this was this:
$1:
He told reporters the force does not track investigations against its own and has no understanding of the scope of the problem.
"There is currently no national, centralized co-ordination of member investigations," he said. "That means that no member of the RCMP, including the RCMP commissioner, can tell you how many criminal investigations have been undertaken into its own members.
"More serious is that no one can tell you how many members have been investigated for serious injury, sexual assault or death nor can they identify how many charges have been laid against their members nor what the outcome was."


I can't believe that any organization that large could have that kind of "head in the sand" attitude. Either their grossly missmanaged or shoing the same secrecy that got them into the trouble their in now.
