"Phase 2" final report concerning conduct measures and related issues under Part IV of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Act / Paul Ceyssens, W. Scott Childs.: PS64-184/2-2023E-PDF
"This report is a part of our response to 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. "Phase 1" of our assessment, delivered in 2022, emphasized three objectives: (i) examining the best practices in conduct measures; (ii) reviewing and assessing 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) reviewing and assessing 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 1, the RCMP also asked us to address other issues, including providing 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. As we wrote in paragraph 1.3 of our Phase 1 Report, much of Phase 1 divided into the general and the specific – providing a detailed examination of conduct measures generally, and then applying that analysis to one specific issue: sex-related misconduct. Phase 2 could be reduced to applying that same general examination of conduct measures to various other forms of misconduct. As with Phase 1, we conducted extensive research, consultation and review of RCMP decisions, which we describe in this report"--Executive summary and recommendations, page 4.
