RCMP Complaints Commission Brass To Visit

By 250 News

Prince George, B.C. - The top brass with the Commission for Public Complaints Against the RCMP will be coming to BC later this month.

The Vice Chair, Brooke McNabb will be in Prince George in a couple of weeks, and the Chair, Paul Kennedy,  will be in the province at the end of the month.

Kennedy may be asking   the RCMP in B.C. about the Kevin St.  Arnaud  case.    

That   Complaints Commission report is now in the hands of the RCMP for review, and cannot move the next step towards completion until the RCMP write a letter of disposition.

It has been nearly two years since the Commission Chair initiated a complaint against the RCMP in the shooting death of Kevin St. Arnaud of Vanderhoof.  The complaint filed in March of 2006 alleges the members of the RCMP improperly entered into a situation with St. Arnaud that resulted in his death and that a member of the RCMP improperly discharged his firearm in the incident.  

 A year later, the Commissioner added another allegation,  that members of the RCMP failed to conduct an adequate investigation into the death of Mr. St. Arnaud.

St. Arnaud was shot to death in a Vanderhoof soccer  field in December of  2004 after a break in  at  the  nearby drug store.
