Redacted summary

A Chair-initiated complaint was filed regarding the shooting death of a member of the public by an RCMP constable. The incident occurred in late October 2005. The Commission reviewed multiple aspects of the matter, including: the officer's cadet and field training; a planned liquor enforcement operation on the evening in question; the deceased's state of sobriety; RCMP foot patrols at a local arena; the arrest of the deceased for open liquor and obstruction; the officer's search of the deceased; the decision to transport the deceased to the RCMP detachment; the initial attendance of two other officers (a constable and an auxiliary constable) at the detachment following the arrest; the subject officer being alone with the deceased at the detachment; the officer's decision not to use closed-circuit television (CCTV) in the interview room; and RCMP policy regarding backup and CCTV use when dealing with detainees. The Chair issued an Interim Report followed by a Final Report after the Commissioner's Notice, with relevant schedules appended. The report was archived on November 28, 2007.
