The majority of these complaints are investigated by Members of the RCMP which creates a significant burden on already strained resources, particularly in smaller detachments.

Key Points:

The majority of these complaints are investigated by Members of the RCMP which creates a significant burden on already strained resources, particularly in smaller detachments.
Many jurisdictions across Canada have external oversight bodies or civilian review boards that provide independent oversight of police, helping to ensure impartiality, transparency, and public confidence in the process.
A fully independent, well-resourced, comprehensive complaints process and investigative body would support Canadians' best interest and current practices across other jurisdictions, where each Province is served by their own form of independent public complaints commission.
