Military Police Complaints Commission · MPCC file 2021-026 — Military Police Complaints Commission
Redacted summary
The Military Police Complaints Commission investigated an interference complaint filed by two Military Police members (a Corporal and a Sergeant) against a Warrant Officer and a Captain in their MP Unit chain of command. The complaint arose from a welfare check conducted in mid-2021 at the residence of a Military Police officer whose young children were found unsupervised. Following the welfare check, a criminal investigation was opened for alleged child abandonment and failure to provide necessaries of life. The complainants alleged that the Warrant Officer improperly interfered by directing a 'tactical pause' and seeking to transfer the investigation file to the General Investigation Section, and that the Captain improperly interfered by making a personal call to a family member of the subject officer. The MPCC found all three allegations of improper interference not substantiated, concluding the directions were reasonable and undertaken for legitimate purposes, and the call to the family member did not interfere with the investigation. The CFNIS ultimately assumed the investigation, which did not result in charges.
