An RCMP spokesman said it is unusual for information on charges against an officer to be withheld from the public

Chief Allan Adam of Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation is punched during his violent arrest by RCMP officers, in a still from police dashcam video obtained during legal discovery, in Fort McMurray, Alta., on March 10, 2020.The RCMP is looking into why the force did not publicly disclose criminal charges against one of its officers that were laid for an off-duty incident months before he threw Chief Allan Adam to the ground in March.

Mr. Adam told The Globe and Mail earlier this month that police beat him up and manhandled his wife after approaching them outside a casino in Fort McMurray, Alta., because of an expired licence plate. A 12-minute dashcam video released later showed Mr. Adam arguing with an unidentified officer and complaining about police harassment before Constable Seguin tackled him.

Mr. Logan said the force launched a code of conduct investigation, the RCMP’s internal discipline process. The RCMP doesn’t disclose the results of such investigations, he said, although it would have factored into the decision to allow the officer to remain on duty. Constable Seguin writes that he “charged” at a man with the intention of bringing him to the ground, and that he wrapped his hand around the Chief’s jaw and “started squeezing.”
