How to Make a Complaint
Conduct Complaints
Anyone, civilian or military, directly affected or not, can make a complaint about the conduct of Military Police members in the performance of their policing duties, e.g., during an investigation, the enforcement of laws or the arrest or custody of a person.
Interference Complaints
Only a member of the Military Police who conducts or supervises a military police investigation and believes a member of the Canadian Armed Forces or the Department of National Defence has interfered with or attempted to influence an investigation may file a complaint of interference.
Time limit
A complaint must be made within one year of the incident in question. However, the MPCC Chairperson can extend the time limit if circumstances warrant. In requesting a time extension, include as much detail as possible and explain the delay in making the complaint.
Complaints to the MPCC can be submitted by telephone at 613-947-5625 | Toll-free 1-800-632-0566 (general inquiries).
NOTE: Telephone conversations may be recorded for accuracy purposes.
The MPCC encourages the use of its Complaint Form. Note you can complete and submit this form online in the official language of your choice.
Should you prefer to complete a PDF form, kindly contact us at commission@mpcc-cppm.gc.ca, and we will provide it to you.
Conduct or interference complaints may also be made by phone, fax, mail or hand delivered to the Canadian Forces Provost Marshal or the Judge Advocate General. Conduct complaints may be made to any member of the Military Police.
