A timeline for the investigation was not provided and B.C. minister Mike Farnworth said no further comment will be made while the case is active
The British Columbia government says the Alberta Serious Incident Response Team will lead a probe into allegations of historic misconduct by members of the Prince George RCMP detachment, and the failure of the force to act on the complaints.
The independent commission that ensures the impartial examination of complaints about the RCMP already issued an interim report to the RCMP commissioner about the matter and Farnworth’s office says the commissioner agreed with the report’s findings and recommendations. Farnworth says the Assembly of First Nations and family members of alleged victims were informed before the independent investigation was announced.
Farnworth’s statement supports the “ongoing dedication” of family members, survivors, community leaders and partners to respond to violence against Indigenous Peoples.
