EDMONTON -- Critics, former employees and sexual harassment survivors are casting doubt on the RCMP’s new harassment resolution centre, set to launch Wednesday, saying that the group is too close to top leadership to be trusted. The Independent Centre for Harassment Resolution (ICHR) will use external investigators “to ensure it is trusted and unbiased” in investigating claims of sexual misconduct and harassment within the force. But there are already concerns surrounding the ICHR’s structure. The executive director of the group was recruited and hired by the RCMP and will report to the force’s highest-ranking civilian officer. Additionally, some of the "external investigators" tasked with examining harassment, misconduct and sexual assault complaints are also former Mounties – a move critics say is nothing more than a stop-gap.
