The Military Police Complaints Commission conducted a Public Interest Investigation into an anonymous complaint alleging that military police members abused detainees at an airfield during a training exercise, and that a commander ignored charges recommended following an investigation. After reviewing documents and interviewing witnesses, the Commission found both allegations unsubstantiated and no evidence of detainee abuse, while identifying investigative deficiencies in the inquiry and issuing recommendations for improvement. The Final Report was released in 2021, with an addendum added in 2024.
sexual_assault · 2021-Q4
The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service Western Region (CFNIS WR) investigated two sexual assault allegations made in late 2021 against a Canadian Forces officer posted to a base in Saskatchewan. Following a short investigation, the officer was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault; they died by suicide in early 2022. The Military Police Complaints Commission conducted a Public Interest Investigation and found the CFNIS WR investigation was inadequate, marked by undue haste, confirmation bias, and tunnel vision. The CFPM declined to implement any of the recommendations issued by the MPCC Chairperson in the final report dated in 2026.

The MPCC initiated a Public Interest Investigation into a Military Police Unit's handling of an investigation involving one of its own officers who was allegedly intoxicated while attempting to drive with children. Complaints alleged that unit leadership altered investigative reports, directed subordinates not to report the incident, suppressed charges, and improperly gave special treatment to the officer involved. Both interference and conduct complaints were filed with the MPCC in the spring and summer of 2021.

The MPCC conducted its 14th Public Interest Investigation into an anonymous complaint alleging that in late 2010 and early 2011, a commanding officer at a facility in Afghanistan conducted exercises to terrorize detainees. The investigation focused on the conduct of members involved in the investigation and their decision not to lay charges. As of a recent annual report, the Interim Report was still being prepared.

police_misconduct · 2021-Q1
A civilian contractor working on a Canadian Forces Base was improperly detained, handcuffed, and placed in an interview room by Military Police members after a CPIC query returned an immigration warrant belonging to a different person. The Military Police Complaints Commission found that the detention lacked reasonable suspicion, that the manner of detention was disproportionate, and that the conduct constituted racial profiling. The CFPM's Office of Professional Standards had originally found the allegations unsubstantiated; following MPCC review, multiple allegations were found supported by the evidence. The MPCC issued twenty recommendations addressing individual conduct and systemic deficiencies in CPIC procedures, racial profiling training, evidence preservation, and supervisory oversight.

A complaint was filed with the Military Police Complaints Commission in early 2007 alleging that Military Police failed to investigate possible detainee abuse in Afghanistan. Detainees captured in a region in 2006 showed signs of physical injury upon transfer to an airfield, yet Military Police allegedly failed to conduct medical examinations, failed to investigate the cause of the injuries, failed to properly seize and inventory personal effects, and transferred the detainees to local police without completing standard procedures. The complaint, filed under a section of the National Defence Act, requested a public interest investigation and hearing under another section of the Act.
custody_injury · 2006-Q2
A complaint was filed with the Military Police Complaints Commission alleging that Military Police at an airfield in Afghanistan failed to investigate possible detainee abuse. Three individuals detained by forces on or around a date in early 2006 in a region were transferred to Military Police with documented injuries including contusions, abrasions, and lacerations. The complaint alleges Military Police failed to arrange medical examinations, failed to properly inventory detainees' personal effects, and transferred the injured detainees to local police without conducting a forensic medical inquiry, contrary to standard procedures and the detainee transfer arrangement between forces and Afghanistan.
