A Tactical Armoured RCMP Vehicle drives past a police road block set up in James Smith Cree Nation in Saskatchewan on Tuesday, Sept. 6, 2022. Mounties in Saskatchewan have surrounded a home on the James Smith Cree Nation, after a possible sighting of a suspect in a series of deadly stabbings.
The internal review delves into the initial call for service, command structures, public alerts and response to victims.RCMP have released the internal review of their response to the James Smith Cree Nation stabbings in September 2022. An internal review has found there was no "common underlying circumstance" that significantly impacted the RCMP's ability to respond to the James Smith Cree Nation stabbing spree.
Assistant Commissioner Rhonda Blackmore sits before Thursday's news conference. Blackmore requested the comprehensive review on Sept. 13, 2022. At that point, the only information the pair had was that there had been a single stabbing, with the suspects having departed from the scene. However, the nature of the call required Maynard to have backup with him.
The decision to separate, with Maynard moving on to another crime scene and Miller staying behind to provide first aid, is criticized in the report even while their work is described as commendable. The report recommended addressing the issue of whether officers should travel together or separately. At the time of the James Smith Cree Nation stabbings, there was no national policy or guidance on the subject, the review highlighted.The Saskatchewan RCMP have created a divisional policy that requires each detachment to conduct a risk assessment on whether two-person or one-person patrol vehicles are viable for each shift. It's not clear whether a national policy has been developed.
The Saskatchewan RCMP's response was that although officers do try to attend events at the First Nation, the limited number of officers poses a challenge. Although the air services unit has submitted multiple business cases to the province for upgrading the Cessna, it has so far been unsuccessful.
