Top Mounties failing in leadership role, watchdog says Globe and Mail – Daniel Leblanc – RCMP brass are failing to live up to the legendary can-do spirit of the Mounties and are undermining the efforts of provincial divisions that are striving to modernize the force, watchdog Paul Kennedy said Wednesday.

The Mounties and public trust Toronto Star – Should the Royal Canadian Mounted Police investigate their own officers when someone has died or been seriously injured in a run-in with the force?
One of the too many false reasons too many patients die in Hospitals is that almost none of the medical staff feel any personal, real, negative repercussions themselves. That also includes the too many bad cops we seem to have now too, and bad civil and public servants too, bad politicians..
.
One of the best way that I have discovered to get to know what a person is really like, is work with him just for one whole day,.. and what you now saw next.. lying, bullying, control freak..
.
Public exposure and prosecution of the guilty is one of the best approach serving everyone’s best interest too.
.
People in leadership office do have to face higher penalties as an example now too. It is clearly established, accepted fact by most people that those in leadership civil and public servants cops, teachers, ministers, politicians included are always to be exemplary in behavior, conduct and they do need to maintain their high standards even out of their working hours, thus to do so they are also to be exemplary judged, prosecuted for their own wrong doings with a higher standard over those of us ordinary folks. Too many police officers are now too often guilty of their most serious neglect of public trust and their duty. The related truth is that neither an independent police investigation, a new police commissioner, a promised provincial or federal investigation, or just more politicians promises too often still will not bring the much needed justice. All of the governments can prohibit the initial and further employment of any known racists for any jobs, and can punish them for their racists acts, views. Police managers continue to promise the reforming of bad cops and the bad cops keep killing, abusing innocent persons. The possible retaining of bad police officers is always anyway a false myth. What thus is always needed is the real the dismissal, criminal prosecution, of the guilty cops. So where is it? Speeding is not the main cause of car accidents, impaired driving is, but too many cops are alcoholics it seems who wrongfully do sympathize with drunks and as a result do not arrest drunks all year

Manitoba can create better police review Winnipeg Free Press The Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP was recently asked to determine if the the federal police force could investigate complaints against its own members. The answer, in a report released this week, was a resounding no.Some members of the public may have secretly hoped that the vaunted Mounties were able to avoid the same chronic failing that afflicts municipal police agencies. The CPC report shows the Mounties are just as fallible as their municipal cousins. Manitoba has introduced legislation to create Canada’s second independent agency to investigate complaints against police. The legislation is at second-reading stage and could pass the legislature as early as this winter. Manitoba Justice Minister Dave Chomiak has promised the agency will be headed by a civilian, but that investigators for the most part will be current and former cops. This obvious concession may be politically expedient, but as the CPC report shows, it won’t serve the public or individual police officers very well. In an equally scathing analysis of the Manitoba model published in the Free Press in June, Marin essentially says Chomiak is naive for believing that any police officer, current or former, can do this job. He argues that it is essential that specially trained civilians investigate these complaints, not current or former police officers. This is the single most important issue facing any jurisdiction attempting to provide a better model for reviewing complaints against police. There are no doubt some police officers who have the intestinal fortitude to resist the siren call of the police fraternity encouraging them to take a less-than-objective view of transgressions. But there aren’t enough of them to do the job properly. The CPC report brings very little that is new to this issue. But it underlines the importance of turning this most important job over to objective, effective investigators who come from outside the law enforcement community.

Investigating the RCMP National Post RCMP Commissioner William J. S. Elliott should take this counsel to heart. But instead, he seems to be exhibiting a knee-jerk opposition to Mr. Kennedy’s findings.
.
TheChronicleHerald.ca – PUBLIC confidence in the RCMP is likely to continue to erode in the wake of the shameful findings of the Mounties’ national watchdog body in a report earlier this week. The findings were alarming enough. Making it worse, however, was the brass’s defensive response to legitimate concerns about clearly inappropriate behaviour when Mounties investigate themselves, as laid out by Paul Kennedy, chair of the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP.
Police self regulation, self investigations are a colossal failure…
“This requires the intervention of the government,” said Liberal MP Mark Holland, who said Ottawa’s inaction is inexcusable. “Does a recommendation need to be made 10, 15, 20 times before it is implemented?”
.
it’s really time that our national police force leftall of their bad traditions behind… It’s time that the RCMP caught up with other police forces in Canada and around the world in abandoning its claim to be able to investigate its own officers thoroughly and impartially when they are accused of criminal offences. One of the most shocking things that came out of Kennedy’s report is that the RCMP does not even keep track of officers facing such discipline. They could not tell him how many there were or what happened to the officers in question. … they just didn’t have it. Perhaps therein lies a clue as to why our national police force has been perceived by the public to be involved in shoddy investigations of its own officers. Headquarters has offered no guidelines and failed to monitor cases or study outcomes. In other words, no one was overseeing how the force disciplined its own members who got in trouble with the law. There were sometimes officers of lower rank investigating officers of higher rank who they knew personally. Whether intimidation happened is a question only the RCMP can answer. The system must be changed so that the possibility of that happening is eliminated. Ontario provides a good model with its civilian Special Investigations Unit.Scandals in that province have revealed that police cannot be allowed to investigate other police. The time is over when we could trust the watchers to watch over themselves and recent events seem to indicate that the RCMP is obsessed to a detrimental degree with its image. It has a detailed media policy designed to highlight how it serves and discourages exposing the less savoury aspects of police work. Kennedy’s report opens the question whether that policy in some way connects with the RCMP’s shocking irresponsibility around investigating its own officers. By keeping the process in-house, do they stand a better chance of burying these incidents?
http://www.canada.com/RCMP+cannot+investigate+officers/1884659/story.html.
The opinion polls show declining confidence in the legal system and police as a result of high-profile controversies involving RCMP conduct. Many yearn for a return to the days when B.C. maintained its own provincial police force and municipalities policed in their own communities or regions.
.
There is no good RCMP argument against a civilian investigation unit of the RCMP. Kennedy’s report does not go far enough for the RCMP’s many critics still. Get rid of the RCMP Public relationship departments, and put some real, valid RCMP control, managers immediately in place too.
.
It’s not yet clear whether RCMP will implement the recommendations contained in a new report by the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP.
.
David Eby, the executive director of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association, says the report issued Tuesday by Paul Kennedy, the Commissioner for the Public Complaints Against the RCMP, is a damning indictment of police investigating themselves, but it doesn’t go far enough.
.
“This report means nothing. Those who think the RCMP will change are living in a dream world. They will never give up the power they now have. The cover ups will just get more intensive, making them harder to uncover. Even if it were implemented, the cost of investigating the infractions would be enormous, you would need hundreds of investigators due to the countless number of suspicious actions of RCMP members. By the time the investigation was concluded, the member involved would be retired, and most likely untouchable. Those who actually think changes will occur, had best go see a Doctor, you are delusional. “http://www.cbc.ca/canada/british-columbia/story/2009/08/11/bc-rcmp-internal-investigation-report.html
.
The Commission for the Public Complaints Against the RCMP is in itself a farcical institution.. look how long they took themselves do deal with the RCMP abusive usage of Tasers even or any of my past complaints.
Now as if you all did not know that already that the Local and the national police cannot be respected to do a decent inquiry into the alleged wrong doings of any police officers, cause we can seem all to know that the accused police do not hesitate to lie, to cover-up the reality… now self regulation of the police force, is just useless self masturbation always it seems, thus we need independent reviews of all police complaints for all of the police forces too in Canada, with real negative consequences on the guilty persons now too and it is as simple as that The truth, real acts, real facts speak louder than the too often, false, cheap words now too still. Police unions, Police Public relationships departments now too would have us all believe that the police is supposedly now aggressively tackling crime, criminals, injustice in Canada. Even a according to the RCMP Public relationship propaganda department too, because if they the RCMP now did not write a report about it, it all now still would not be obvious to most people who wonder what the cops are even doing now most of the time, besides giving out money generating traffic traffic tickets, the report does not indicate the number of bad people actually successfully prosecuted each year for the millions of dollars already spend on the related police man-hours now too? nor does the same RCMP report indicate the cost of the useless police enforcement per year in comparison now to the actual successful prosecutions?
.
At the RCMP too, the thin blue line is alive and well as the Robert Dziekanski case best still exemplifies it. this poor, abused Robert Dziekanski, who died, or rather was murdered, after a continual Tasering by four RCMP officers in the Vancouver airport in 2007. Next the evidenced to all perverse RCMP lineup at the inquiry was a study in rehearsed. lying fabrication supported by also perverse senior brass, including a false police-testimony soundtrack completely out of sync with the reality of what was happening, all done in spite of the evidence of the famous video of the RCMP Dziekanski takedown. Certainly now without that video of the same Polish immigrant’s death, any internal RCMP investigation would undoubtedly continued to have determined to all that this matter again too was a another justified police response instead of the now much too obvious case of RCMP incompetence, and overkill. And despite the undeniable need, logic now of putting all of serious RCMP allegations under independent investigations to ensure, enhance the reliability of real Justice, RCMP findings and to improve its transparency, the false, perverse RCMP foot dragging now continues but also not one of the Dziekanski murders, and accomplices have yet been convicted of any criminal wrongdoings as well. Now how much more perverse can this all get now too still all while the also perverse federal justice Ministers sit on their hands and do nothing again about it all?’.
.
Self regulation of all organizations, personnel tends to be mostly still just immoral masturbation.. lawyers, pastors, doctors and nurses included. Public exposure and real prosecutions of the really guilty persons does work better.
.
The ongoing lessons of life even in Canada will be and are these: One cannot abuse others and get away with it forever. Laws, government institutions now are made for the good of all persons too. Also if all of the evil persons, politicians included, are not also punished, made to face negative personal consequences themselves they really will not next stop their wrong doings. (Eph 4:28 KJV) Let him that stole steal no more: but rather let him labour, working with his hands the thing which is good, that he may have to give to him that needeth. (1 Cor 11:31 KJV) For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

Almost since my first job after graduating from university I had learned that people are not to be trusted, need to be supervised, and corruption still exists in construction, universities, municipalities, governments, corporations, amongst professionals and politicians as well.

Sergeant Mike Rutigliano with the Ontario Provincial Police “has been charged with discreditable conduct under Ontario’s Police Services Act for allegedly meeting with members of the Rizzuto crime family, led by the currently imprisoned Vito Rizzuto, in Montreal in 2002” as reported by Anthony Reinhart for The Globe and Mail: Yesterday morning, Sgt. Rutigliano made a brief first appearance at OPP headquarters in Orillia. According to the notice of hearing issued before the proceeding, the OPP alleges Sgt. Rutigliano “arranged and attended a meeting in Montreal in 2002 with members and associates of the Rizzuto Traditional Organized Crime Group, regarding a jewellery store in Woodbridge, Ont.” The OPP has further accused the officer of giving “false and misleading” answers when he was questioned, in February of 2004, about his “relationship with Vito Rizzuto.” The notice of hearing quotes Sgt. Rutigliano as having said, “I do not know the man, I have never met the man, I have never spoken to the man, I have never communicated with the man either in writing or electronically, nor have I ever had any association with him directly, or indirectly.” The disciplinary hearing will resume on Sept. 28 in Orillia. In 2004, Rutigliano was found guilty under the PSA of discreditable conduct for making a threat to a former business associate. The OPP officer is also charged with an alleged $15 million fraud targeting Bombardier Inc.
.
A veteran OPP officer embroiled in a justice corruption scandal now also had helped a fraudster, wanted on a Canada-wide warrant, establish a new identify with bogus identification, including a Lithuanian passport, according to court documents. Rutigliano “offered to obtain new identification for Mavroudis,” who at the time had more than 70 criminal convictions on his record. the suspended sergeant appeared at a police disciplinary hearing in Orillia. Rutigliano has been charged with discreditable conduct under the Police Services Act for allegedly lying about a meeting with Montreal mobster Vito Rizzuto and associates. Earlier this year, Rutigliano was released on bail after he was charged with corruption and obstruction of justice offences in connection with three separate investigations.

APPROPRIATE PUBLIC EXPOSURE AND THE APPROPRIATE PROSECUTION OF THE GUILTY SERVES EVERYONE’S BEST INTEREST

FOR A GOOD NAME IS WORTH MUCH MORE THAN ANY AMOUNT OF SILVER OR GOLD AND A TARNISHED ONE IS WORTHLESS.

OTTAWA – The RCMP watchdog says the Mounties should not investigate their own members in the most serious cases – especially when someone has died – due to conflict of interest. In a new report, the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP recommends sexual assault and serious injury cases involving Mounties sometimes be turned over to outside investigators to ensure independence. “There is currently no national, centralized co-ordination of member investigations,” he said. “That means that no member of the RCMP, including the RCMP commissioner, can tell you how many criminal investigations have been undertaken into its own members. “More serious is that no one can tell you how many members have been investigated for serious injury, sexual assault or death nor can they identify how many charges have been laid against their members nor what the outcome was.” http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/090811/national/police_probe_police
.
The RCMP commercial crime division, as well that of the local police commercial crime division tend do not care to worry about white collared business crimes, they do rather sympathize with it, they even told me so, in my own real experiences, dealings with them too.
.
The scathing indictment of RCMP, “the truth about what’s really going on inside the force. The short answer is an inept, insular and archaic group of RCMP executives has let the Force fall out of step with 21st Century policing.” “Unfortunately,” the idea of intimidating people is entirely consistent with the RCMP management’s way of managing conflict, not only with the public, but also with its own membership“ “The idea of protection is reflective of the RCMP executive’s view of the public they police. We have become the ‘enemy’ and they go to ‘war’ with us each day, rather than collaborating with us to form a cohesive and consistent approach to policing our communities.”. “It is a psychologically unsophisticated idea to believe that the RCMP can investigate itself,” “When I say this, I’m not questioning anyone’s integrity. I am stating a fundamental principle of human behaviour. Human beings are highly subjective organisms … we don’t like to see things that make us look bad….. The RCMP is in need of significant transformational change in order to genuinely re-connect with the public and its own membership.” ” Mike Webster police psychologist.
.
These comments apply to all of Canada’s police forces that are mostly mismanaged generally, they today mostly have bad police chiefs, bad police sergeants and too many rotten, bad subordinates too. All because we have mostly bad, pretentious justice ministers as bad and not rather good managers. Do see all the many other posts about the bad cops, RCMP, OPP here as well. Now there is a really great gap between how the cops see themselves and how the citizens DO see them.
.
” Canada is an acknowledged leader in law enforcement around the world and is contributing to the development of a well-trained and professional police forces world wide.” “The RCMP, along with trainers from the U.S. and other international partners, are providing basic training to Mexican Federal Police recruits.” Stephen Harper, Canada’s Prime Minister. This now also is a real big joke, most of us already do know what big liars, pretenders, incompetent now the RCMP in Canada basically are, including their commercial crime division too. The RCMP now are not even cost effective with their much too high overhead costs, too often incompetent managers now too.
.
It is undeniable that self regulation tends to be merely masturbation and not the real thing.. As far as as the Public Interest being served even when the Police are investigating themselves, RCMP, Mounties included, especially when those cases involved serious injury or death there tends to be always a conflict of interest when the Police investigated fellow Police and so the decent, honest investigations included independent external investigators such as lawyers not rather fellow police officers. There have been even one too many recent clearly and UNACCEPTABLE NEGATIVE incidents have highlighted the unacceptable issue of police investigating police, including the case of Robert Dziekanski, who died at the Vancouver Airport after being hit with an RCMP Taser.
.
I have rightfully no respect for the RCMP commercial crime Division from my own real personal experiences. Hey we have loads of example of how ruthless, crooked the cops are now in Canada.. their self regulation does not work, and Canada wide now too. None of this is acceptable. and the overall justice system, Justice Ministers are already known world wide to be really bad too. https://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2008/08/23/mickey-mouse-rcmp-police-canada/
.
THERE APPEAR TO BE THREE MAIN REASONS any so called professionals, the RCMP now too, have DEGENERATED IN EFFECTIVENESS SO VISIBLY. THE SAME REASONS THAT WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO MOST PROFESSIONAL BODIES NOW AS WELL:
-The first is the initial employee, managements hiring, selection process. Police forces tend to have common criteria of personnel selections.
– The second clearly is promotional mechanisms within the force.. which seems too often to reward AND promote incompetency.. TO ME THIS EXPLAINS WHY POLICE CHIEFS, MANGERS TEND OFTEN NOW TO LACK MORALITY, CREDIBILITY, ETHICS TOO.
– The third is the internal self regulating aspects
.
In most of Canada too the Police Department’s disciplinary system remains “fundamentally ineffective” and should be taken over by an outside agency, I have rightfully too concluded that was true as well. The RCMP own self regulations now had falsely, clearly failed to deal with the inadequate Vancouver airport RCMP officers The RCMP’s reputation too next faced a serious degenerating beating at Braidwood inquiry in 2009 You’ll remember that shortly after Robert Dziekanski was Tasered and died in Vancouver International Airport, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it would not be returning a videotape of the incident to its rightful owner for one or two years, because it might taint witness testimony. Well, the tape has certainly had a negative effect, but what it has tainted is the reputation of the RCMP. And it, along with other evidence from the Braidwood inquiry into Dziekanski’s death, reveals that the RCMP and police forces across the country have a lot of work to do to regain the public’s trust. In fact, the tape reveals what could be construed as a practice of using Tasers first and asking questions later, and worse, it reveals that the attending officers couldn’t even trust the notes they made shortly after the incident. Millington Tasered Dziekanski a total of five times, even after Dziekanski had fallen to the ground and after the officers had applied pressure to his back. Now it’s awfully hard to understand how the officers could still have been frightened of Dziekanski, but that’s still not the worst of it. No, the worst thing is that if the videotape didn’t exist, one would have to rely on Millington’s notes about the incident, notes that Millington was forced to repeatedly admit were wrong. In fact, confronted by videotape evidence about the number of times Dziekanski was Tasered, Millington had to confess that one would get a “distorted view” of the incident by reading his notesThis is a devastating admission because, in most cases of Tasering, the officer’s testimony is all we have to rely on. Also now as if you all did not know that already the local and the national police cannot be respected to do a decent inquiry into the alleged wrong doings of most police officers, cause we can seem all to know that the accused police and their supervisors, examining boards, really do not hesitate to lie, to cover-up the reality… now self regulation of the police force, is just useless self masturbation always it seems, thus we need independent reviews of all police complaints for all of the police forces too in Canada, with real negative consequences on the guilty persons now too and it is as simple as that.

“OTTAWA — The RCMP lost track of millions of dollars’ worth of items purchased for the G-8 summit in Alberta, a newly released report reveals. An internal review team found the Mounties were left scratching their heads about what they actually bought for the June 2002 event, how much they had, and in some cases where it was. “We have identified several weaknesses with respect to the management and tracking of the inventory during the G-8 summit in Kananaskis,” the audit report says. ” Tough new legislation Bill C-45, Bill C-46 may put white-collar offenders into prison or may be not? Rather we have seen a serious erosion in the federal and provincial governments concerns about consumer protection, the still too often price gouging, price fixings, and citizen abuse by money hungry businesses in Canada unacceptable already. Furthermore Canada’s long needed white collar crime legislation will suffer because the federal government is too cheap, too incompetent to really enforce this legislation still by allowing the existence of the Mickey mouse, bad RCMP too.
.
The RCMP was, is falsely millions of dollars money making pit catching tourists leaving Banff Park . The RCMP Public complaints Commission in Calgary next wrongfully did very little good in regard to this my specific complaint. Do see the Canmore Alberta Queen’s court transcripts for the details now too. I am not ashamed of the whole truth. Did I also tell you that the poor manager of purchasing the computers at the Montreal CBC that I met firsthand too was an ex RCMP officer himself who also had a relative working for the bad RCMP in Canmore Alberta? I got three tickets in a row from the same Traffic cop in Calgary, note in reality abusive and bad quota cop, and I next went to the Calgary’s mayor Al Duerr’s office to rightfully object, and I face to face told the mayor’s secretary I was going also next across the street to the Calgary Police chief to complain about it too. I walked into the police office and told the secretary I want to see the chief of police and I said you “cops are crooked? A sergeant asked me to leave or he would have me arrested. I told him I was not going to leave till I talked to the Police chief so the sergeant had me arrested for talking out loud in a public place. The same sergeant that was the liaison officer at the Calgary Multicultural center, the one I as a patron member of the Calgary Multicultural center had complained to him face to face at the center to previously how racial abusive the Calgary cops were just a few months ago. When the officer had arrested me I told him I knew him and who I was and then he recognized me and he said to the other police men present that they had made a mistake and to let me go.. I was next allowed to leave the jail by the back door into the rear lane exit but the Police charges against me wrongfully were not dropped. And if that was how they treated me how do you think they treat any others? just as bad. In court next the Police security present next testified that she new me, that this was not the first time I was complaining about bad Calgary cops. The judge admitted that my right of free speech was being clearly violated but I was still guilty and I was fined $250.00 which I paid under duress. You can see this for yourself in the Calgary Court records if they have not hid it or lost it again..Now as if you all did not know that already that the Local and the national police cannot be respected to do a decent inquiry into the alleged wrong doings of any police officers, cause we can seem all to know that the accused police do not hesitate to lie, to cover-up the reality… now self regulation of the police force, is just useless self masturbation always it seems, thus we need independent reviews of all police complaints for all of the police forces too in Canada, with real negative consequences on the guilty persons now too and it is as simple as that The truth, real acts, real facts speak louder than the too often, false, cheap words now too still. Police unions, Police Public relationships departments now too would have us all believe that the police is supposedly now aggressively tackling crime, criminals, injustice in Canada. Even a according to the RCMP Public relationship propaganda department too, because if they the RCMP now did not write a report about it, it all now still would not be obvious to most people who wonder what the cops are even doing now most of the time, besides giving out money generating traffic traffic tickets, the report does not indicate the number of bad people actually successfully prosecuted each year for the millions of dollars already spend on the related police man-hours now too? nor does the same RCMP report indicate the cost of the useless police enforcement per year in comparison now to the actual successful prosecutions? When I left Alberta for decades I DID NOT GET ONE SPEEDING TICKET..
.
The police Canada wide now also would like you to believe that less people are getting caught for drunk driving now as well, even though the number of people getting drunk, becoming impaired is increasing each year too, but the accuracy of the police report now itself depends on whether the police do even bother to try to catch the drunk drivers or where they still they are too busy writing the traffic tickets for speeding. even though speeding still is not a major cause of car accidents to start of with too.
.
Calling the police can too often be a waste of time cause they the police too often still are even falsely selective as to the type of work next that they are willing to undertake and they might next ask you to freely help to do their own paid Jobs, and yes the same that they are being paid for ! I have also now in writing clearly now even since 911 said the RCMP should be firstly disbanded and replaced with a new national, competent police force for the RCMP is a Mickey mouse force composed of much too many rotten bad apples in there.. the RCMP supervisors and the RCMP Public Complaints Review board , a masturbation board rather included. Too late to still try to improve this police force, a waste of money to do so as well. Rather you can still use the RCMP for parking tickets for which they are mostly good at. Now what about getting a real good police force and a really acceptable governments, Justice system in Canada. for all of us, me included.
.
Here is what I know for sure in Canada proper policing, management , supervision human rights commissions are a real fact of life, society, in schools, life, in churches, governments, commerce, institutions, civil and public services, professional services too, and elsewhere, even on the net, for you will always have those 30 percent at least of the persons who will try to cheat, lie , steal, bend the rules, falsely believe they are above the laws, Self regulation alone is too often pretentious, farcical, often not applied as well. That applies especially to the professionals, civil and public services, police, municipalities, politicians now as well.. https://thenonconformer.wordpress.com/2009/07/21/listeriosis-investigator-report/
