After comparing maps of key escape routes, the study said ‘Pictometry imagery would have given the RCMP a better understanding of the road networks in Portapique, thereby enhancing containment efforts’

A report looking into a mapping program the RCMP had access to – but couldn’t open – during the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia concludes it could have helped contain the killer’s rampage.

However, Corbett found Pictometry “makes it more apparent that these are driveable roads,” while the Google Earth image is “unclear.” The first officer to supervise the response, Staff Sgt. Brian Rehill, said in an interview with the inquiry last year the maps he saw showed “little gravel roads,” but he believed there was only one route out of the enclave by car. “That’s where I had all the containment set up,” he said.

“I start trying to go and find Pictometry, which each detachment’s supposed to have. I couldn’t find it, and Al Carroll didn’t know where it was .... We end up pulling a map off the wall. We put it on the table and start hand drawing on it,” he said.Tara Miller, a lawyer participating in the inquiry on behalf of a victim’s family member, said in an interview last week that using the best programs in emergencies like the mass shooting should have been a normal process for incident commanders.
