MORE THAN 400 RCMP MEMBERS ACCUSED OF MISCONDUCT.
This is not the first report on misconduct, and sadly, probably won't be the last.
"According to the RCMP, it logged 443 cases of alleged misconduct in 2024 involving 408 employees. Nearly one quarter of these cases resulted in “serious” disciplinary measures, such as being declared ineligible for promotion or being forced to forfeit more than 80 hours of pay. Ten RCMP employees were also demoted to a lower rank or level, which was more than double the number of demotions made over the previous two years.
Five per cent of the misconduct cases, or approximately 22, resulted in termination or direction to resign, which was the most severe consequence. Over 70 per cent of cases led to remedial or corrective measures such as special training, close supervision or deferred promotions."
A few years ago the Force settled a $200 million dollar lawsuit for sexual harassment.
"Three years after settling a sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit with female officers for $100 million, the RCMP has reached a second settlement — for about another $100 million — for women who worked for the force in non-policing roles.
The settlement was announced Monday morning by Klein Lawyers LLP, the same Vancouver law firm that handled the first settlement in 2016. The latest pact is subject to approval by a federal court."
