I refer to systemic reviews as our opportunity to fix policing before the police officer walks out the door. That's how I see them. We deal with large systemic issues. I refer back to the commission's report on personal searches and strip searches. We made some seminal recommendations in that which fundamentally changed the way the RCMP is doing their business when it comes to these searches, because obviously, a search like that takes away a great deal of an individual's personal liberty.
These are the types of investigations where we could identify trends, look at different things that are happening in the world and actually dig in and make some recommendations to fix policy, fix procedures and fix training. The other part about systemic investigations is I also see them as really enabling the police officers who are out doing the important work they do to better do their jobs. That's the way I see them. I think that these investigations are absolutely critical. They can't take second place to public complaints. They have to be on the level with public complaints.
