RCMP HQ REJECTED REQUEST FOR INDEPENDENT REVIEW

 One of the top RCMP officers involved in responding to Nova Scotia’s mass-shooting rampage in 2020 says he pushed repeatedly to have an independent review of how the incident was handled — only for national headquarters to reject his request.

Chief Supt. Darren Campbell told the federal-provincial inquiry examining the episode Monday he sent emails and a formal letter to highers-up in Ottawa asking for a review by police critical-incident experts not connected to those involved.

Past experience told him that such an outside review — including even officers from other police forces — is more valuable than an internal one, he said.
