Four Mounties Suspended In New Brunswick Over Discreditable Conduct Allegations

The Canadian Press, 08 Dec, 2015 11:34 AM
    WOODSTOCK, N.B. — The RCMP say four of its members from the Woodstock area of New Brunswick have been suspended while they are investigated for allegations of discreditable conduct.
     
    A fourth member from the area was suspended Tuesday.  
     
    In addition to the investigation under the RCMP's code of conduct, the Mounties major crime unit will determine whether there is any criminality related to the allegations.
     
    The RCMP says the Kennebecasis Regional Police Force is providing independent oversight of the investigation.
     
    All four members of the RCMP have been suspended with pay but the police department says suspension without pay is being pursued in some of the cases.
     
    The RCMP didn't release any details on the allegations in the news release and a spokeswoman wouldn't give any additional information on them, citing the ongoing investigation.
     
    Const. Jullie Rogers-Marsh also wouldn't release any information on the officers who have been suspended.
     
    Assistant Commissioner Roger Brown said when the conduct of RCMP officers comes under scrutiny, it undermines the entire police force.
     
    "The conduct of members of the RCMP is rightfully held to a higher standard," Brown, the RCMP's commanding officer in New Brunswick, said in a statement. "These suspensions are troubling but I can assure the public we are taking these matters very seriously."
