Summary

"The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP (Commission) first became engaged in the incident on November 20, 2007, when it deployed an independent observer to the RCMP's criminal investigation into events surrounding the death of Mr. Knipstrom. On the same date, the former chair of the Commission also initiated a complaint to delve into the two aspects of the incident, which are within the jurisdiction of the Commission, those being the appropriateness of the response by the RCMP to the complaints concerning Mr. Knipstrom’s behaviour, and the police investigation of the death of Mr. Knipstrom. The Chair-initiated complaint was referred to the RCMP for investigation. Having not yet received a response from the RCMP to the Commission’s complaint, on January 30, 2009, the Commission notified the RCMP Commissioner that it considered it advisable in the public interest for the Commission to investigate this complaint pursuant to subsection 45.43(1) of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act (RCMP Act). The formal parameters of the Commission’s investigation were as follows: whether the members involved in the events, from the moment of initial contact until Mr. Knipstrom’s transfer to the care of emergency health personnel, complied with all appropriate policies, procedures, guidelines and statutory requirements; and whether the RCMP conducted an adequate investigation of the incident."--Pages 1-2.
