TABLE OF CONTENTS

CONCLUSION

The Commission is, and must be seen to be, impartial and fair in its dealings with both complainants and subjects of a complaint. Its role is to inquire into complaints independently and impartially to arrive at objective findings and recommendations based on the information provided by the complainants, military police members, witnesses and others who may assist in uncovering the truth concerning events being investigated.

Through our operations the Commission has maintained and enhanced its efforts and commitment to establishing a reputation for professionalism, integrity and independence. Moreover, the Commission is making its intended contribution to increase confidence in the Military Police, both within the Department of National Defence and the Canadian Forces and amongst Canadians everywhere.

In 2002 and beyond,the Commission intends to increase its commitment to a client-centred focus by enhancing its informal and expeditious handling of complaints,by establishing a priority for electronic access to Commission information and services and by increasing efforts to inform stakeholders of the Commission’s role, responsibilities and operational procedures.
