In fact, Ms. Bloodworth, the RCMP investigate to determine whether or not there's sufficient evidence and reasonable grounds to believe a criminal act has been committed and, if so, whether they have sufficient evidence to determine who committed the act, and then whether the evidence is reasonable and sufficient to support criminal charges against them.
So I do not see why.... But you may not be the right person to answer this, because you don't know what the term “a person known to the police” means.
I fail to understand why Foreign Affairs would not ask the RCMP, who are expert investigators, to assist them in that review. If evidence of criminal activity came up, then the RCMP would clearly be well placed to do that.
