Complaints against Yukon RCMP officers reach five-year high

People made 59 complaints about RCMP officers in Yukon in 2025-26. The RCMP is Canada's national police. The year before, there were 41. This is the most in five years. The numbers come from a report by the Civilian Review and Complaints Commission, which reviews complaints about the RCMP. It accepted 34 complaints for RCMP investigation and refused 24. In finished complaints, the most common claim was neglect of duty. That means not doing a job properly. The RCMP found 11 of these claims proven and 25 not proven. An RCMP spokesperson warned these numbers alone do not show causes.
