Summary
"The Yukon Government and the RCMP
announced they would conduct a review
of the RCMP’s police services in the Yukon
aimed at maintaining and enhancing the
public’s confidence in the RCMP in the Yukon
Territory. The “Review of Yukon’s Police
Force” (the Review) was initiated in the wake
of expressions of concern regarding the
manner in which some members of the RCMP
were interacting with the communities they
serve.
The Commission’s approach to contributing
to the Review included three interrelated yet
distinct phases in order to obtain a fulsome
picture of the existing public complaint
process in the Yukon. The Commission:
carried out on-site detailed reviews of
RCMP public complaint files lodged
between January 1, 2005 and May 31,
2010;
met with a number of community
stakeholders in the Yukon, recognizing
that many do not engage the formal
public complaint process; and
obtained input from individual RCMP
members stationed in the Yukon."--Page 1.
