"Phase 1" final report concerning conduct measures, and the application of conduct measures to sex-related misconduct under Part IV of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act / Paul Ceyssens, W. Scott Childs.: PS64-184/1-2023E-PDF
"This report is the result of the request from the RCMP to conduct an assessment of its "conduct measures", the equivalent of "penalties" or "dispositions" in some other jurisdictions, that flow after a formal finding of misconduct under Part IV of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act. This report is "Phase I", which (i) examines the best practices in conduct measures; (ii) reviews and assesses the RCMP Conduct Measures Guide to determine if the range of measures available to address harassment and sexual misconduct "reinforces the responsibility of members to promote and maintain good conduct in the RCMP"; and (iii) reviews and assesses the conduct measures that conduct authorities and Conduct Boards have applied in cases of established conduct related to harassment and sexual misconduct. As part of Phase I, the RCMP has also asked us to provide recommendations concerning (i) a modernized Conduct Measures Guide to meet police accountability expectations; (ii) the appropriate range of measures for harassment and sexual misconduct; and (iii) achieving the consistent application of the conduct measures, and effective ways to enhance guidance provided to conduct authorities. Finally, the RCMP has asked us to complete an intersectional analysis and identification of trends, and to address the specific recommendations of the Hon. Michel Bastarache in the Independent Assessors Report (Broken Dreams), part of the Implementation of the Merlo Davidson Settlement Agreement. We conducted extensive research, consultation and review of RCMP decisions, all of which we describe in our report"--Executive summary and recommendations, page 4.
