Assistant Commissioner Bill Robinson, Commanding Officer of RCMP “D” Division made a statement in regards to the sentencing of two “D” Division RCMP members on charges of assault.
“The court sentenced two “D” Division RCMP members on charges of assault. The RCMP respects the decision of the court. We recognize that RCMP members are subject to the same provisions of the Criminal Code of Canada that govern the people in this country.”
“I cannot comment further on a court decision that may be subject to appeal. “However, I can tell you that Cpl. Jeffrey Moyse and Cst. Trevor Ens remain non-operational and have no interaction with the public. This is an interim measure pending the outcome of the ongoing internal process governed by the RCMP Act.”
“As the Commanding Officer of RCMP “D” Division, I expect members to perform their duties in a professional and courteous manner, reflecting our core values that include honesty, integrity, compassion, respect, accountability and professionalism. We recognize that our members are held to a higher standard and we are proud of the hundreds of hard-working men and women providing highly professional police services to Manitoba communities.”
