Interim Chairman Dept: Most of those recommendations concerned the use of Tasers -and the Mounties say 11 are already implemented, two have been partly implemented and the remaining three also have been separately addressed, according to Vancouver Sun. "In addition, the RCMP has developed and implemented an external investigation policy which requires that serious incidents be investigated by other agencies. Notably, the Commissioner of the RCMP also addressed deficiencies in member note taking and emphasized the importance of thorough and reliable contemporaneous notes."

In a final concluding report, interim chairman Ian McPhail said the force was in the process of addressing all 16 recommendations made in 2009 after the commission's initial investigation of the Polish immigrant's death at the hands of the RCMP. "In particular," McPhail itemized, "the RCMP has revised its policy on the usage of conducted energy weapons and the reporting and tracking requirements flowing therefrom. The RCMP is also increasingly emphasizing de-escalation in its member training. As reported in the news.
