Changed the thread title to make it a bit more specific. It's one officer being charged not the entire RCMP.

I'm not sure how it all works and if he would forfeit pension and the like if he gets dishonorably discharged from the RCMP. But they need to do their due dilligence or paying him a salary for a couple months while suspended will look like chump change compared to any potential civil litigation. Sucks right now, but long term it probably will save the tax payer money.
