The MPCC's public interest investigation concerns an anonymous complaint alleging that in late 2010 and early 2011, a commanding officer at a military base in Afghanistan conducted exercises at a detainee facility to terrorize detainees, and that the military police subsequently failed to lay charges.

sexual_assault · 2021-Q4
The Canadian Forces National Investigation Service Western Region (CFNIS WR) investigated two sexual assault allegations made in late 2021 against a Canadian Forces officer posted to a base in Saskatchewan. Following a short investigation, the officer was arrested and charged with two counts of sexual assault; they died by suicide in early 2022. The Military Police Complaints Commission conducted a Public Interest Investigation and found the CFNIS WR investigation was inadequate, marked by undue haste, confirmation bias, and tunnel vision. The CFPM declined to implement any of the recommendations issued by the MPCC Chairperson in the final report issued in 2026.

A complaint was filed with the Military Police Complaints Commission in early 2007 alleging that Military Police failed to investigate possible detainee abuse in Afghanistan. Detainees held at an airfield in 2006 were found to have injuries, yet Military Police allegedly failed to ensure medical examination, preserve evidence, and properly document the detainees' conditions before transferring them to local police custody. The complaint requested a public interest investigation and hearing under a section of the National Defence Act.
custody_injury · 2011-Q1
The Military Police Complaints Commission conducted a Public Interest Investigation into an anonymous complaint alleging that military police members abused detainees at an airfield during a training exercise, and that a commander ignored charges recommended following an investigation. After reviewing documents and interviewing witnesses, the Commission found both allegations unsubstantiated and no evidence of detainee abuse, while identifying investigative deficiencies in the inquiry and issuing recommendations for improvement. The Final Report was released, with an addendum added later.
