Recent reports from oversight bodies have scrutinized the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) regarding systemic deficiencies in sexual assault investigations and the legality of a lethal shooting in the Yukon.

近期監察機構的報告對加拿大皇家騎馬警 (RCMP) 進行了審查，針對其在性侵調查中的系統性缺陷，以及在育空地區發生的一宗致命槍擊事件的合法性。

The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission (CRCC) conducted an extensive examination of the 2017 homicide of Susie Butlin, who was killed by her neighbor, Ernie Duggan. The investigation revealed that the RCMP's Bible Hill detachment exhibited a sexual assault 'unfounded' rate of 54 percent, the second highest in Canada. The CRCC determined that the initial investigation into Butlin's report of sexual assault was grossly inadequate, citing a lack of legal proficiency and the influence of discredited stereotypes regarding victim behavior. Furthermore, the commission noted that critical intelligence—including a 911 call from the perpetrator's spouse warning of a potential homicide—was improperly categorized as an impaired driving incident, thereby preventing a comprehensive risk assessment.

平民審查與投訴委員會 (CRCC) 對 2017 年 Susie Butlin 被其鄰居 Ernie Duggan 殺害的謀殺案進行了廣泛調查。調查顯示，RCMP 的 Bible Hill 分局將性侵案件判定為「無根據」的比率高達 54%，為全加拿大第二高。CRCC 認定，最初對 Butlin 性侵舉報的調查嚴重不足，原因在於缺乏法律專業能力，以及受到關於受害者行為的過時刻板印象影響。此外，委員會指出，關鍵情報——包括兇手配偶撥打 911 警告可能有謀殺案的電話——被錯誤歸類為酒駕事故，導致無法進行全面的風險評估。

Despite the implementation of new training modules, the CRCC observed that these resources remained non-mandatory, with fewer than 10 percent of members completing the course by October 2023. While Commissioner Mike Duheme contested the assertion that the RCMP's pace of reform was insufficient, he accepted 77 of the 79 recommendations, including the establishment of specialized sexual offence units.

儘管實施了新的培訓模組，CRCC 觀察到這些資源仍非強制性，截至 2023 年 10 月，完成課程的成員比例低於 10%。雖然 Commissioner Mike Duheme 對於 RCMP 改革速度不足的說法持有異議，但他接受了 79 項建議中的 77 項，包括成立專門的性犯罪單位。

Parallel to these systemic reviews, the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team (ASIRT) adjudicated a January incident involving the fatal shooting of Christopher John Delaney. ASIRT concluded that the deployment of lethal force was reasonable, as Delaney, who was wanted on firearms-related charges, brandished a paintball gun that closely resembled a functional firearm. The oversight body determined that officers acted proportionately to an immediate perceived threat, regardless of the weapon's actual utility.

與這些系統性審查平行地，亞伯塔省嚴重事故應對小組 (ASIRT) 裁定了一起 1 月份涉及 Christopher John Delaney 致命槍擊的事件。ASIRT 結論認為，使用致命武力是合理的，因為被通緝於槍械相關罪名的 Delaney 當時揮舞一把與真槍極其相似的彩彈槍。監察機構判定，無論該武器的實際效用如何，警員是針對感知到的即時威脅採取了相稱行動。

The RCMP is currently transitioning toward specialized investigative units for sexual offences while maintaining that its use-of-force protocols in the Yukon were justified.

RCMP 目前正轉型建立專門處理性犯罪的調查單位，同時堅持其在育空地區使用武力的協定是正當的。
