The civilian watchdog agency overseeing the RCMP routinely takes Mounties to task for bungling sexual assault investigations, despite the RCMP's promises to do better.
A spokesperson for the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) for the RCMP said the agency has issued 43 "adverse findings" — conclusions that were unfavourable to the RCMP — in cases involving sexual assault investigations since 2019.
The CRCC said that, since 2019, it has made 45 recommendations regarding sexual assault investigations directed at RCMP policies, procedures, protocols and training.
Those recommendations are not binding; the RCMP is free to ignore them. RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki supported 41 of those recommendations, partially supported one and did not support three of them, said Kate McDerby, spokesperson for the CRCC.
