Peter Kennedy: RCMP

North Vancouver Detachment Dept: In a scathing letter, a copy of which has been obtained by the Citizen, Peter Kennedy, an officer with the North Vancouver Detachment, said RCMP top brass have failed one of Canada s most revered institutions, and years of mismanagement has eroded confidence and trust in the force. The recent sexual harassment allegations by female officers are only the tip of the iceberg, Kennedy said. Using words like immature and arrogant to describe some of Paulson s recent actions, Kennedy said he used to be proud of the RCMP, but not any more, according to Vancouver Sun. When the Citizen called the North Vancouver Detachment to speak with Kennedy, a reporter was told the officer was not working Monday and oTTAWA A 30-year veteran of the RCMP has sent an extraordinary letter to Bob Paulson blasting him for the way he is handling the problems facing the force, saying he has no respect for the commissioner s stewardship. His letter follows an earlier email exchange between Paulson and another critical B.C. officer, Staff. Sgt. Tim Chad. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
