Complaints against Yukon RCMP hit five-year high, led by neglect of duty

Complaints about Yukon RCMP officers rose to 59 in 2025-26 from 41 the year before, the highest in five years, according to a Civilian Review and Complaints Commission report. Of these, 34 were accepted for RCMP investigation and 24 were refused. Of 73 allegations in the 23 complaints the RCMP finalized during the year, 42 were for neglect of duty; the RCMP substantiated 11 of those and found 25 unsubstantiated. An RCMP spokesperson said neglect of duty is the most common allegation in most contract jurisdictions and warned against reading allegation data alone as evidence of causes such as staffing.
