Justice Minister Tyler Shandro is urging Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino to immediately dismiss the RCMP Commissioner, saying Alberta has lost confidence in her

Justice Minister Tyler Shandro is urging Marco Mendicino, the federal minster of public safety, to immediately dismissShandro says Lucki has failed to do her job on multiple files, including the convoy protests and blockades earlier this year.

In response, Mendicino says the government has confidence in Lucki and the federal government will continue to follow the normal process on evaluating and appointing commissioners. The RCMP is a hot topic in Alberta, as the province is working on a plan to replace the Mounties with its own police force, even though opinion polls and many rural and municipal leaders are not in favour of the idea.

Mounties' union calls on feds to reconsider removal of 'less-lethal intervention options' from RCMP toolkit, citing safety concernsThe union representing RCMP members is raising concerns over the federal government’s push to reduce the number of non-lethal intervention options available to officers, arguing that it should reverse its proposal to limit options such as the carotid control technique, sponge-tipped rounds, and tear gas for the sake of both public and police safety. Both the prime minister’s mandate letter to Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino (Eglinton-Lawrence, Ont.) and a separate mandate letter from Mendicino to RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki outline the government’s move to reform the RCMP in part by “prohibiting the use of neck restraints in any circumstance and the use of tear gas or rubber bullets for crowd control alongside developing national standards for the use-of-force.”  “We think that with a new and modernized set of policies around use of force by the RCMP, that it can serve as a role model for other law enforcement branches across the country,” said Mendicino in a May 26 interview with CBC News.  In an explanatory video produced by the National Police Federation (NPF), which represents RCMP members and reservists, the carotid control technique is described as a physical control technique that applies pressure to the carotid arteries, temporarily reducing blood flow to the brain.  According to the union, it is neither a chokehold nor a neck restraint, and does not restrict breathing or airways. Furthermore, the union says current RCMP training and policy limits the use of the technique to times when an officer assesses risk of “grievous bodily harm or death for themselves or any other person.”  Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino’s mandate letter tasks him with ‘prohibiting the use of neck restraints in any circumstance and the use of tear gas or rubber bullets for crowd control.’ The Hill Times photograph by Andrew Meade John Sewell, who was Toronto’s mayor from 1978 to 1980 and is a member of the Toronto Police Accountability Coalition, said the default pos
