VANCOUVER - An internal report by the RCMP reveals some female Mounties are reluctant to come forward with allegations of harassment because they feel the complaints process isn't credible and the problem officers aren't punished.
The report, released through access-to-information laws, is based on a survey of 426 female officers in B.C. and was conducted after a number of high-profile news stories about sexual harassment within the force.
The officers complained about several behaviours, ranging from colleagues belittling them during meetings to allegations of inappropriate touching and indecent exposure.
But the report says many of the Mounties said they feared retribution if they reported such behaviour, and complained that often the people who speak out — rather than those doing the harassing — are relocated.
The report also notes a perception within the RCMP that harassment isn't common — a belief the report partially attributes to the unwillingness of female Mounties to complain.
The RCMP already appointed a team of dedicated sexual harassment investigators to look into such complaints in response to the report which was completed last April.
