Mirroring Canadian police disciplinary records — and watching when they disappear.
The Ledger captures every public disciplinary record, tribunal decision, and oversight-body report from Canadian police agencies — then detects when those records are removed, altered, or silently edited out of their official sources.

| Military Police Complaints CommissionThe Military Police Complaints Commission conducted a Public Interest Investigation into a complaint about a Military Police Unit leadership's handling of alleged misconduct by one of its members following an incident in early 2021 in which a Military Police Officer appeared intoxicated while leaving a restaurant with minor children. The MPCC found the interference allegations not substantiated, found one allegation of improper file alteration partially substantiated, and issued recommendations regarding investigation file management. | police_misconductunsubstantiated | 2021-Q1 |
| Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMPA constable from the Inuvik RCMP Detachment in the Northwest Territories attended the Arctic Tern Youth Facility in response to a call from Facility staff for assistance in dealing with a female inmate. Upon arrival, the constable was directed to a classroom where youth officers had used force to take the inmate to the ground. When the constable entered the room, five youth officers were present, three of whom had hands-on control of the inmate. The inmate was lying face down with their hands cuffed behind their back. This incident, occurring in early 2007, gave rise to a Chair-Initiated Complaint under the RCMP Act regarding the use of a Conducted Energy Weapon. The matter proceeded through a Public Interest Investigation, an Interim Report in Q3 2009, a Commissioner's Notice, and a Chair's Final Report issued in December 2009 under subsection 45.46(3) of the RCMP Act (File No.: PC-2008-3149). | cew_use | 2007-Q1 |

| Special Investigations Unit (Ontario)The evidence collected by the SIU, including interviews with the complainant and the subject officers, and video footage that captured the incident in part, gives rise to the following scenario. As was their legal right, one subject officer did not agree to an interview with the SIU, but did authorize the release of their notes. In the afternoon of early 2026, two subject officers were on-duty together assigned to the West Neighbourhood Resource Team, a proactive policing initiative by the service. The officers attended an apartment complex in the area of Richmond Road and Croydon Avenue to perform welfare checks, enforce conditions of release, and execute outstanding arrest warrants. The complainant was identified as a person associated with the building who was subject to an arrest warrant on theft charges. The officers were just outside the elevator when it opened and the complainant stepped out. Asked to identify themselves, the complainant provided a false name and attempted to walk by the officers. The two subject officers took hold of the complainant and a struggle ensued. The complainant was forcibly taken to the floor and handcuffed behind the back. The complainant was transported to hospital after their arrest and diagnosed with a fractured left knee. | custody_injuryno_grounds | 2026-Q1 |
