Summary
"In Manitoba, complaints against members of the Royal
Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) are handled by the
RCMP and the Commission for Public Complaints Against
the RCMP (CPC).
This process is separate from Manitoba’s Law
Enforcement Review Agency (LERA), which is an
independent agency that investigates complaints
against municipal and local police officers. The RCMP
is a federal police service and LERA does not have the
authority to receive complaints from the public about
RCMP officers."--Introduction.
