Royal Canadian Mounted Police External Review Committee

Strategic Outcome

The RCMP External Review Committee aims to positively influence the manner in which labour relations issues are addressed within the RCMP.

Program Activity Descriptions

Independent, timely, fair and impartial case review leading to the provision of quality findings and recommendations in all cases referred to the Committee
The Committee Chair can dispose of matters referred to the Committee by the RCMP either on the basis of the material in the record or following a hearing. In conducting its review of matters referred to it, the Committee attempts to achieve a balance amongst the many complex and different interests involved while ensuring that the principles of administrative and labour law are respected and the remedial approach indicated by the RCMP Act is followed. In each case, the Committee must consider the public interest and ensure that members of the RCMP are treated in a fair and equitable manner.

Dissemination of information on the role of the Committee and its findings and recommendations, as well as on relevant legal principles
The External Review Committee (ERC) ensures that its findings and recommendations in each case are clearly explained to the parties and the RCMP Commissioner. Summaries of the findings and recommendations in each case, as well as articles of interest and information on related issues, are distributed widely through a quarterly publication ( Communiqué ), as well as through timely inclusion on the ERC Web site and preparation of the annual report and other documents of government accountability.

Royal Canadian Mounted Police Public Complaints Commission

Strategic Outcome

Upholding safe communities through the promotion of Canadian values of respect for human and civil rights, multiculturalism and diversity, equality and fairness, and respect for the rule of law.

Program Activity Descriptions

Civilian oversight of RCMP members' conduct in the performance of their duties
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police Police Public Complaints Commission is an independent federal agency established in 1988 to review public complaints about the conduct of RCMP members in a fair and impartial manner.

The work of this Commission has to be relevant, on a number of levels. The complaints received, the investigations conducted and the reports written, must all be of the highest quality. The work is only relevant if what is produced can withstand the highest scrutiny, and be understood by both the complainants and the RCMP members involved, while generating meaningful debate about the issues addressed.

With this sustained relevance, the Commission is in a unique position to make an important contribution to the policy responsibility of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness.

The Commission pays close attention to cases involving police conduct related to the treatment of persons in custody, cell deaths, the use of force, the treatment of mentally ill persons, relations between Aboriginal communities and police, and high-speed police pursuits. Recent developments in anti-terrorism and organized crime legislation, and the use of these extraordinary new powers given to the police, are also of tremendous interest to the Commission.

Currently, over 94% of the Commission's adverse findings and recommendations are accepted by the RCMP Commissioner. Commission recommendations are influencing RCMP conduct and national policing policy, one case at a time.
