Earlier today, the Serious Incident Response Team (SiRT) laid sexual assault charges against retired member, Darrell W. Johnson. These charges relate to incidents that occurred during and after his service with the RCMP and involve a woman known to him.
These charges are deeply troubling and understandably distressing to the communities we serve. The RCMP remains steadfast in its commitment to integrity and accountability. We take all allegations of misconduct seriously, and our members are expected to uphold — and surpass — the high standards rightly demanded by Canadians.
Sgt. Johnson (retired) served with the RCMP in Nova Scotia beginning in 2002. He retired in November 2023.
