Behind the Red Serge is an anonymous investigative podcast that exposes how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) handles misconduct behind closed doors — from harassment and sexual assault to systemic failures in accountability.
Through real internal documents, conduct hearings, and survivor testimony, this series examines how power protects itself inside Canada's national police force — and what happens when those who wear the badge break the rules… and still keep it.
No names. No agendas. Just the truth — redacted, revealed.

An RCMP constable's secret affair unraveled after his former partner discovered he was married. What followed were allegations of dangerous driving, criminal threats, a police investigation, and a criminal charge that was ultimately resolved through Alternative Measures. But years later, after hearing live testimony and reviewing the evidence, an RCMP Conduct Board reached a very different conclusion and dismissed both Code of Conduct allegations. In this episode of Behind the Red Serge, we examine how two legal processes, arising from the same events, arrived at different outcomes—and what that says about evidence, accountability, and the stories behind the headlines.

Bruises Don't Lie.
A domestic violence victim turned to someone she trusted — an RCMP corporal with over twenty years of experience. She disclosed abuse, showed visible injuries, and described living in fear. But no investigation was started.
When police later arrived for a Duty to Warn, they discovered one of their own already knew.
Episode 26 examines responsibility, accountability, and what happens when the person trained to recognize the warning signs fails to act.

Update: Underage girls from Traffic stops to Instagram
A routine traffic stop led to Instagram messages, a 17-year-old girl, and one of the RCMP's most controversial Code of Conduct decisions. After being given a second chance, the officer found himself back before a Conduct Board for a third time. In this update, we examine what happened next—and ask whether some breaches of public trust can ever truly be rehabilitated.
