One of the RCMP’s highest-ranking officers has told a public inquiry that after a gunman killed 22 people in Nova Scotia in 2020, he opposed informing the public that a police bulletin had raised red flags about the killer nine years earlier.
Deputy commissioner Brian Brennan told the inquiry Friday that other senior officers suggested during an “issues management” meeting on May 12, 2020, that the bulletin -- which a municipal force issued but RCMP members received -- should be shared with the public.
