I’m sure that the RCMP would quote a number closer to yours. You can build the schedule- it just doesn’t survive contact. So you were “right”. The practical reality calls for a number a little higher that’s all.
At that lower number you wind up with secret dishonest 24 coverage where one officer works and one is a on call. Or two or three hour periods where there is on call every once in a while because of vacancy. “Risking it out”
I was digging through this stuff recently being called to a detachment that was now refusing to take overtime- they came together saying the over reliance on OT was burning them out- so they wouldn’t be taking ANY OT call-outs.
So in order to bring it to a proper functioning schedule that allowed for the usual vacancy we see now we needed that higher number to actually float it.
Yup. And under the new collective they can refuse on call on RTO days. I figured we’d eventually see that used for concerted pushback in hurting detachments.

I was happy to see them collectively say that they wouldn’t do something, Despite my mild annoyance at having to deal with it. They are right that they are staffed inappropriately.
As you’re saying- it’s been an eye opener for many managers once they have to operate within a structure with some rules.

Very simplified answer, either/or, but with caps on how much time can be banked in lieu. In practice in a lot of places it’s so hard to get released for leave that lieu banks fill up quick and can’t be depleted. Obviously there are a lot of situational nuances.

Testimony from key RCMP officer at mass shooting inquiry can't be broadcast
Is this implying that in order for Cst Wiley to be open and honest his testimony needs to be hidden from public view?
It sucks that Wiley is in a position where they've had to goto the guys place 16 times with nothing apparently being done about it. That's got to be heavy on their conscience even though it's surely a fault of our system and not them as an officer. Still, needing to hide the testimony seems odd.

My immediate assumption was that if he can't be broadcast in video or audio is that he has worked or is working undercover.
If it's for health reasons, well, it could backfire, since media will scrum around the entrances and exits to try to get quotes / images they can use, which will be potentially much more invasive than a broadcast of a controlled hearing.

From further down the CBC article that I read:

I read PTSD there and to publicly testify may make the situation worse. I hope the witness has good counsel and a counsellor on hand.

I think we need an LEO to answer that.

Whichever it is/was, it’s legal in Canada. Some refer to it as IAG…insurance against gaslighters.
Yeah and that’s fine. Not about the legality, It’s more about it being deleted. If the conference call SOP is to officially record and it was deleted for “reason” then it looks bad. Kind of like your body cam being suddenly NS at a key moment. If someone did of their own recording and deleted it then it seems less conspiratorial.
That’s the crux of my question. Is it SOP or was someone recording to ensure he still had a seat when the music stopped.

You would need an LEO with experience in these high level politically charged meetings.
Every serious crime/murder investigation I've been a part of records all meetings/briefings etc but I can't say for certain its SOP amongst the likes of Superintendents, Assistant and Deputy Commissioners, or the Commissioner of the RCMP herself.
What I can say with absolute certainty is that the recording having been made was in fact evidence and never should have been destroyed. Given this was the largest mass murder in Canadian history, and the conversation involved the senior most ranks of the RCMP there is absolutely no excuse or reasonable explanation as to why this recording was deleted. No brand new Constable oopsies, no "we didn't think the recording was relevant", no "reached its purge date per policy".
To me this is destruction of evidence, plain and simple. At the least, somebody should be fired. I'd prefer to see somebody charged, made an example of, and then dismissed.

I have no clue whether it is routine for senior police executives' phones calls to be recorded (I was a tad shy of prerequisites for those corridors) but I would suspect not, given that they routinely speak to elected officials, ministers, etc., but if she was speaking from an ops centre/incident room/whatever they call it, at Fort Rose Marie in Ottawa, I would suspect that it would be SOP to record all calls and perhaps even room audio.
Regardless, as RedFive points out, once recorded should have been preserved and no civilian would have the unilateral authority to make that decision.
