Final report on the review of the RCMP’s Conduct Measures Guide
On this page
The RCMP is committed to strengthening trust and confidence by modernizing our disciplinary measures to meet expectations of fairness, transparency and effectiveness.
Conduct Measures Review
In October 2021, the RCMP hired experienced labour lawyers to review our disciplinary measures. They recommended we change our decision-making process and use our serious conduct measures more often. This includes adopting presumptive dismissal for serious sexual misconduct and demoting employees for misconduct related to leadership and supervision.
Culture change
These changes will strengthen the RCMP's disciplinary process. They represent an important part of our culture change and will help ensure that our employees' actions align with our renewed core values. As we carry out the experts' recommendations, we will continue consulting with diverse groups. Find progress updates on the Change at the RCMP website.
Modernized Conduct Measures Guide
In November 2024, as a result of the RCMP's implementation of the expert recommendations as well as the extensive and valuable input from diverse groups, the RCMP introduced a modernized Conduct Measures Guide for our disciplinary decision makers. The updated Guide is a practical internal tool to help RCMP disciplinary decision-makers determine the most appropriate conduct measures in response to member misconduct. The revised Guide is also a key part of our efforts to strengthen accountability, reinforce our renewed core values, and support a safe and respectful workplace for all. Highlights of the key changes are available on the Change at the RCMP website.
