We are an independent civilian oversight body, created by the New Brunswick Police Act. We oversee the management of the public complaints process into the conduct of police officers and the policies or services of municipal and regional police forces and we ensure that both complainants and police officers subject to a complaint are treated fairly, impartially and with respect. We assist in improving the quality of policing services provided to the public through the review of legislation, policies and services.
This website provides you with information on the types of complaints that we handle, on how to lodge a complaint, and what happens when you file a complaint.
Vision, Values, Mandate
Our Vision
“Fair and independent civilian oversight of policing in New Brunswick trusted by all”
Our Values
- Quality Service - We provide services that are dependable and consistent.
- Integrity - We act with honesty and fairness.
- Accountability - We take responsibility for our policies, decisions, actions and products.
- Objectivity - We make balanced and unbiased decisions.
- Transparency - We foster a structure and culture that encourage access to information within the law.
Our Mandate
The New Brunswick Police Commission is the independent Board that manages citizens’ complaints about police officers, and police force policies and service.
Any person can make a complaint against the police. 
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Our History
Civilian oversight of police action is a cornerstone of a free and democratic society. Created in 1977, under the Police Act, the Commission manages complaints about seven municipal police forces and two regional police forces in New Brunswick.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Reason
The police have special powers to enforce the law and restrict the free movement of citizens. This can lead to conflicts, so public feedback, in the form of complaints, is important to improving the service police provide to our communities.
The New Brunswick Police Commission is the independent oversight body that safeguards the public interest in policing by:
- Investigating allegations of police misconduct;
- Fairly and diligently investigating complaints;
- Imposing disciplinary and corrective measures when required;
- Improving the quality of policing services through review of legislation, policies, and services.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

News Release
REVISED/ Report released on review of New Brunswick Police Commission
12 December 2019FREDERICTON (GNB) – The provincial government has released the report from the consultant hired to review the operations of the New Brunswick Police Commission.
The report by Alphonse MacNeil, which contains 22 recommendations under 13 different categories, was submitted to Public Safety Minister Carl Urquhart and to Lynn Chaplin, chair of the New Brunswick Police Commission.
“The commission is the cornerstone of civilian oversight of police services in the province, so we thank Mr. MacNeil for his thoughtful report on its operations and we appreciate that the commission requested the review,” Urquhart said. “We accept his recommendations and will take steps to address those made directly to the Department of Public Safety.
“We also note that Mr. MacNeil reported positively on the current team at the commission,” he said. “We are confident that the leadership in place can effectively respond to the report and is well equipped to provide stability to the office and lead it into the future. That is why the government appointed Lynn Chaplin as chair of the commission and Marc Léger as vice-chair with their terms extended to October 2021 and May 2023, respectively.”
The Department of Public Safety will bring together stakeholders, including the commission, to discuss revisions to the Police Act. These discussions will include an evaluation of Section 20 of the act regarding the definition of adequacy of policing services and will also address the feasibility of establishing a Serious Incident Response Team in New Brunswick.
The department is also discussing with the commission their need for an electronic file management system.
Department staff will also work with the commission to review recommendations related to it, including the selection process for commission members, their requirements and competencies, as well minimum term appointments.
MacNeil began work last spring to review the policies, practices and procedures of the commission. He was hired after the commission formally requested the minister identify an independent third party to perform a review. The board requested the review to maintain public confidence in the commission as an independent oversight body responsible for protecting the public interest in matters of policing.

>>
>> Horsman says it’s too early to talk about specific changes, but he

>> or 1970s."
>>
>> His comments come after the 2013-14 annual report by the New Brunswick
>> Police Commission called for updates to the law.
>>
>> "We are of the opinion that the time has come to re-open the Police

>>
>> Horsman, a retired Fredericton city police officer, says the public’s

>>
>> "Today, people are more inclined to question or to ask questions about

>> departments and I applaud them for that. They should be," he says.
>> Police commission seeking 13 changes
>>
>> Steve Roberge, the police commission’s executive director, says the
>> organization is looking for 13 changes.
>>
>> One would allow the commission to extend the time it has to
>> investigate a complaint. The law says if it doesn’t complete an

>> settlement conference, it loses jurisdiction.
>>
>> "The problem with that is that some investigations, for example for

>> witnesses and they take a very long time," Roberge said.
>>
>> He’d like to see the law changed so that — like the legislation in
>> British Columbia — it gives the commission the power to extend the
>> time limit in certain cases.
>>
>> "It’s an issue of fairness, not only to the complainants to make sure
>> we do a thorough investigation and not be pressed by time limits, but
>> also to the … police officer who’s the subject of the complaint, to
>> give them a thorough investigation and ensure we get all the facts
>> properly," he says.
>>
>> Woodstock police
>>
>> The New Brunswick Police Commission received 64 complaints last year.
>> (CBC)
>>
>> Another change would let the commission assign multiple investigators
>> to complex complaints. At the moment, it can only assign one
>> investigator per case.
>>
>> But some investigations require more people, Roberge says, and "we
>> can’t do that under the act."
>>
>> The commission investigates complaints from the public about the
>> conduct of municipal police officers.
>>
>> The RCMP has its own complaints process that covers its officers, who
>> handle policing in areas of New Brunswick without municipal forces.
>>
>> The commission also has a role in ensuring adequate policing
>> throughout the province and must be consulted if a municipality wants
>> to cut the number of officers.
>>
>> The commission’s report also raises a concern that more police
>> officers, who are the subject of complaints, are opting out of the
>> settlement conference process.
>>
>> That process allows the complainant, the officer, and the officer’s
>> chief of police to deal with the complaint informally, which takes
>> less time and costs less money than a full arbitration hearing.
>>
>> "It’s an efficiency issue. A settlement conference is done locally and
>> doesn’t require a lot of expenditures," Roberge said.
>>
>> It also means the process isn’t public, but Roberge says the
>> complainant, the officer, and the officer’s manager are all in the
>> settlement conference and know what happens.
>>
>> It’s the officer’s right to opt out of the settlement conference and
>> Roberge says he doesn’t know why they’re doing that.
>>
>> Roberge says the commission handled a total of 56 files in 2013-14
>> containing a total of 64 allegations. Half dealt with alleged abuse of
>> authority, fewer than a quarter alleged discreditable conduct, and the
>> rest made other allegations such as neglect of duty.
>>
>> Of the 64 allegations, 13 per cent were dismissed and four per cent
>> were withdrawn, while 50 per cent were investigated and didn’t require
>> further action.
>>
>> Sixteen per cent of the complaints were still unresolved at the end of
>> 2013-2014 and 17 per cent went to arbitration.
>>
>> Of the cases that went to arbitration, one led to sanctions against a
>> police officer, Roberge said.
>>
>> In that case, a Woodstock town police officer, Const. John Morrison,
>> was suspended for a week without pay after an arbitrator found he had
>> abused his authority while off duty.

>> New Brunswick Police Commission funding running out
>> Arbitrations involving police officers threatening to drive

>>
>> By Catherine Harrop, CBC News Posted: Nov 23, 2015 7:55 AM AT
>>
>> The New Brunswick Police Commission is running out of cash to cover
>> the cost of arbitration hearings even as more cases are being put on
>> its agenda, according to its executive director.
>>
>> Steve Roberge, the commission's executive director, said arbitration
>> hearings and settlement conferences are quickly eating through the
>> commission's budget.
>>
>> He said the average settlement conference would cost the chief of
>> police, or the civic authority or the commission, approximately
>> $20,000. But he said the average cost for an arbitration hearing is
>> about $56,000.
>>
>> "Our biggest challenge right now is that we have 50 per cent of our
>> year completed and we have expended almost three-quarters of our
>> funding," he said.
>>
>> 'Our biggest challenge right now is that we have 50 per cent of
>> our year completed, and we have expended almost three-quarters of our
>> funding.'
>> - Serge Roberge, executive director New Brunswick Police Commission
>>
>> The commission has completed three arbitration hearings this year
>> involving officers from Saint John, Fredericton and Beresford-Nigadoo.
>>
>> Roberge said the single biggest cost for the commission, after
>> salaries, is legal fees.
>>
>> Three hearing in the past two years have run up tabs totaling $152,077.
>>
>> The estimated cost of the investigation and hearing for Fredericton's
>> Const. Jeffrey Smiley is expected to be another $60,000, with the
>> other half of the $120,000 cost being paid by the city.
>>
>> When a dispute can't be resolved in a settlement conference, it moves
>> to arbitration.
>>
>> The commission does not hear all arbitration hearings and only deals
>> with ones where the chief of police is, or appears to be, in a
>> conflict of interest, or is new to the Police Act.
>>
>> Roberge said in the past two years, the number of arbitration hearings
>> reaching the commission has steadily increased.
>>
>> "Whether it's a tactic that they're employing, hoping that the
>> commission and the chiefs and civic authorities will back down, or
>> whether it's simply that they're feeling more threatened, I'm not sure
>> what it is, to be candid with you, other than we've noted a trend in
>> the last two years," Roberge said.
>> Union costs rising too
>>
>> The costs are also rising for unions as more cases move to arbitration
>> hearings.
>> hi-shane-duffy
>>
>> Cpl. Shane Duffy, the president of the Fredericton police force union,
>> UBC Local 911, said the rising number of arbitration hearings is also
>> increasing costs for unions.
>>
>> Cpl. Shane Duffy, the president of Fredericton's police union UBC
>> Local 911, laughs at the suggestion that it's a tactic to move to full
>> hearings.
>>
>> Duffy said arbitration hearings cost the union a lot too.
>>
>> According to Duffy, settlement conferences are always better, if both
>> sides come in willing to negotiate.
>>
>> "It would save us all money and save us all time, and save us all
>> angst about going through that subsequent arbitration process," he
>> said.
>>
>> As for why so many more police officers seem to be in conflict with
>> the laws they have sworn to uphold, Cpl. Duffy said stress could be a
>> factor.
>>
>> "Work that used to be shared between 12 officers, now shared between
>> eight officers," he said.
>>
>> "It's just, I believe, a huge contributing factor. Stress related to
>> the every day of the job continues to build and continues to built,
>> and people under stress or duress don't always make the right
>> decisions or the best decisions."
>>
>> An arbitration hearing involving the Fredericton force and Const.

>> Fredericton police Const. Cherie Campbell arbitration wraps up
>> Closing arguments presented today at N.B. Police Commission arbitration
>> hearing
>>
>> By Philip Drost, CBC News Posted: Dec 16, 2015 3:34 PM AT
>>
>> Lawyers in the arbitration hearing for Const. Cherie Campbell gave
>> their closing arguments Wednesday. Campbell was expected to testify in
>> her own defence, but when her lawyer, T.J. Burke, was asked if he had
>> anyone to call forward, he said no.
>>
>> "That was always an option as to whether she should testify, but she
>> has already testified at a criminal court, at a jury trial in the
>> state of Maine," said Burke.
>>
>> "We didn't feel it was appropriate for her to give her testimony a second
>> time."
>>
>> Campbell is charged with violating the police code of conduct by
>> shoplifting, by attempting to obtain favourable treatment from another
>> police officer, and by asking another police officer to try to keep
>> news about her shoplifting arrest from Chief Leanne Fitch.
>>
>> The arbitration hearing will determine what, if any, discipline
>> Campbell might face stemming from her arrest after pocketing $20 of
>> cosmetics from Marden's discount store in Houlton, Me., in December
>> 2014.
>> Chief Leanne Fitch
>>
>> Fredericton Police Chief Leanne Fitch filed a complaint with the New
>> Brunswick Police Commission about Const. Cherie Campbell. (CBC)
>>
>> Campbell's trial for shoplifting in Maine resulted in a hung jury. The
>> matter ended up being settled out of court without a finding of guilt
>> or innocence.
>>
>> When no further witnesses were called to testify Wednesday, closing
>> arguments began.
>>
>> The lawyer representing Chief Leanne Fitch, who made the charges,
>> Jamie Eddy, told the arbitrator that shop lifting wouldn't have been a
>> big deal, if that was all that happened. He said on a scale from one
>> to 10, the shoplifting was probably only a five.
>>
>> What he said made it a 10 was that Campbell wouldn't take
>> responsibility for her actions. He also said that three different
>> times she tried to use her position as a police officer to get someone
>> to show her leniency.
>>
>> Eddy said that because of this, Campbell should be dismissed from the
>> force.
>>
>> While going over some evidence, Burke argued before arbitrator Cedric
>> Haines this hearing shouldn't be happening. He said that because the
>> case had already gone through the judicial process in Maine, it
>> doesn't make sense to go through the process again.
>>
>> The complaint against Campbell was laid with the New Brunswick Police
>> Commission by Fitch.
>> Lawyer outlines precedents
>>
>> Burke presented some precedents to the arbitrator. He said a case in
>> Toronto had a man who was charged with sexual assault and found
>> guilty, so he lost his job. The man's union appealed this, but it was
>> found that since he was already found guilty, there was no need to go
>> through the process again.
>>
>> Burke argued Campbell's situation was the same, just the other way
>> around. Campbell hadn't been convicted so there wasn't a reason to go
>> through the process again.
>>
>> Lawyer Jamie Eddy, acting on behalf of Fredericton Police Chief Leanne
>> Fitch, said he didn't know of the cases Burke presented, and needed
>> time to respond. Haines told Eddy he could give him a written response
>> to which Burke could also respond.
>>
>> Campbell's lawyer has described the incident as an "honest mistake,"
>> saying Campbell put some lipstick and eyeliners in her pocket after
>> they kept falling out of her cart in Marden's discount store in Maine
>> and then forgot to pay for them when she paid for other items.
>>
>> Burke concluded by saying that if the arbitrator did feel discipline
>> was required, dismissal from the force wasn't the only option. He said
>> that a 20-to-30 day suspension without pay would be appropriate.
>>
>> "The starting point is not dismissal," said Burke during the proceedings.
>>
>> Eddy said that would be fair, if it wasn't for the things Campbell did
>> after she had been caught shoplifting.
>>
>> Both lawyers agreed that Campbell did commit the act of shoplifting.
>> The question comes down to whether the intent was there or not.
>> Arbitrator Haines will look at the evidence and cases he has been
>> given, and hopes to have a decision by Jan. 7.

>>
>> Burke didn't say when the threat was made but it's believed to have

>>
>> "When a threat is posed to you and it is a credible threat, you have
>> to be cautious about where you go and who you are around," he said.
>> "But again, I am more concerned about my family as opposed to my own
>> personal safety."
>>
>> Burke said he doesn't feel any differently and he has not changed his

>>
>> "It doesn't bother me one bit," he said. "It makes my wife feel awful

>>
>> Burke served in an elite American military unit before becoming a
>> lawyer and going into politics in New Brunswick.
>>
>> "(I) have taken my own precautions and what I have to do to ensure my
>> family's safety," he said. "I am a very cautious person in general due
>> to my background and training.
>>
>> "I am comfortable with defending myself or my family if it ever had to
>> happen."
>>
>> Burke said it is not uncommon for politicians to have security concerns.
>>
>> "We do live unfortunately in an age and in a society now where threats
>> have to be taken pretty seriously," he said.
>>
>> Since the terrorism attacks in the United States on Sept. 11, 2001,
>> security in New Brunswick has been

>>
>> Metal detectors were recently installed in the legislature and all
>> visitors are screened.
>>
>> The position of attorney general is often referred to as the
>> province's "top cop."
>>
>> Burke said sometimes people do not differentiate between his role as
>> the manager of the justice system and the individual who actually
>> prosecutes them.
>>
>> "With the job sometimes comes threats," he said. "I have had numerous
>> threats since Day 1 in office."
>>
>> Burke said he hopes his First Nations heritage has nothing to do with it.
>>
>> "I think it is more of an issue where people get fixated on a matter
>> and they believe you are personally responsible for assigning them
>> their punishment or their sanction," he said.
>>
>> Is the threat from someone who was recently incarcerated?
>>
>> "I probably shouldn't answer that," he replied.
>>
>> Reporters asked when the threat would be over.
>>
>> "I don't think a threat ever passes once it has been made," said
>> Burke. "You have to consider the credibility of the source."
>>
