What it does

Public awareness and understanding of the Commission’s role in the RCMP’s accountability framework is critical to maintaining the public’s confidence in the RCMP. Developing engagement and outreach initiatives that inform all parties about the role of civilian review in policing; the mandate of the CRCC; and inform the public how to avail themselves of the complaint process contribute to an effective police accountability system.
