Military Sexual Assault Investigation Was Rushed, Biased, Watchdog Commission Says The Military Police Complaints Commission (MPCC) has determined that an internal investigation into an alleged sexual assault by an air force officer was conducted in a rushed, superficial, and biased manner. This finding contrasts with a previous investigation by the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal’s office, which had cleared military police of wrongdoing. The MPCC chairperson cited confirmation bias and inadequate investigation marked by undue haste, also concluding that military police leadership at CFB Moose Jaw committed wrongdoing, involving an intoxicated supervisor in decision-making.
