The report into Nova Scotia's mass shooting calls for conventional police to be partners in public safety work alongside other fully funded service providers, saying police are often "not best trained or equipped" to deal with people in crisis.

Recommendations from the final report into Nova Scotia's 2020 mass shooting around prohibiting certain firearms and magazines in Canada doesn't address how similar tragedies could be avoided, says a lawyer for many families of the victims.

There is one notable exception to all the criticism the RCMP faced over the events of April 2020, when 22 Nova Scotians were murdered. The Mass Casualty Commission, which investigated the causes and consequences of that deadly weekend, singled out Acting Cpl. Heidi Stevenson for praise.

Premier Tim Houston said his government is committed to a call from the Mass Casualty Commission for a community-wide process to discuss the future of police services in Nova Scotia.

A report on the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia says then-RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki's infamous call to local Mounties was "ill-timed and poorly expressed" — but did not amount to political interference.

The final report from the inquiry examining the 2020 mass shootings in Nova Scotia calls for sweeping change to end gender-based violence.

All prospective members of the RCMP are required to go through six months of training at Depot in Regina, which was first established in 1885.
