2022 Alberta "Freedom Convoy" blockade officers unaware of harm threats until after event, with poor intelligence coordination, inadequate training, and long work hours.
An internal RCMP review found that officers at an Alberta blockade during the 2022 "Freedom Convoy" protests were unaware of threats to harm police until after the episode ended. The review also highlights chaotic efforts to mobilize officers in Ottawa, inadequate training, poor intelligence co-ordination, and long work hours that left some Mounties sleeping in their offices. Additionally, the federal government's hourly briefing demands left intelligence units with no time to prepare assessments or collect up-to-date information.
