Résumé

"This report examines the RCMP’s response to a call for assistance on November 19, 2007, that involved an altercation with and was followed by the death of Robert Thurston Knipstrom. The facts of this case have been examined in detail, with a view to determining: whether the members involved in the events, from the moment of initial contact until Mr. Knipstrom’s transfer to the care of emergency health personnel, complied with all appropriate policies, procedures, guidelines and statutory requirements; and whether the RCMP conducted an adequate investigation of the incident. For the reasons set out below, it has been found that the subject members acted reasonably and that the investigation was conducted appropriately for the most part. However, this report has identified several concerns with the investigation that have been identified in numerous other reports by the Commission and require immediate addressing by the RCMP."--Page i.
