More than 400 RCMP members accused of misconduct (www.ctvnews.ca)

More than 400 members of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police were accused of misconduct in 2024, leading to at least 20 dismissals and resignations.

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.

The misconduct cases were revealed in the RCMP’s Report on the Management of the RCMP Conduct Process, which was quietly released on Jan. 21. The report from Canada’s federal police force covers the 2024 calendar year.

Tip of the iceberg. Most victims never file against police.

Well, it's progress. We used to promote them and put them in charge of standards and training.

Honestly, this could be a good thing. It may look like more misconduct is happening, but it also could be the same amount as always. Only now it's coming to light and being dealt with.

ACAB, but maybe, just maybe, there's a little bit of light on the horizon?
