In Episode 11 of RCMP: Behind the Red Serge, we look at a case where the line between mentorship and abuse of power was crossed. A relationship that began under the shadow of authority, hidden from parents, hidden from colleagues, hidden from accountability. What happens when grooming behaviour by a police officer isn’t treated as criminal, but quietly managed within the RCMP’s own system?

At the RCMP’s training academy — the place meant to build integrity — one instructor’s choices exposed just how fragile that integrity can be.

In this four-part episode, RCMP: Behind the Red Serge follows a series of disturbing conduct hearings that reveal just how far the Force will go to protect its own. Behind closed doors, serious allegations are softened, criminal acts are reframed as “misconduct,” and officers who should lose their badges instead return to frontline policing. What emerges is a chilling portrait of a system designed not for accountability — but for preservation.

When an RCMP officer crossed the line from professional conduct to sexual misconduct in the workplace, the consequences were far from what the public might expect.

This episode exposes the troubling gaps between accountability, internal policy, and public safety within the RCMP.
