A comprehensive report has revealed widespread police failings before and after the 1989 Hillsborough disaster, leading to the deaths of 97 supporters. Despite findings that 12 officers could face misconduct charges, none will be prosecuted as they have all retired, leaving victims' families feeling justice has been denied. The tragedy remains a significant stain on UK policing history, prompting calls for legal reforms.
A public inquiry into Canada's worst mass shooting has found widespread failures in how the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) responded to the incident and recommends that the government rethink the RCMP's central role in the country's policing. The report also says the RCMP missed red flags in the years leading up to the Nova Scotia rampage on April 18-19, 2020, which left 22 people slain by a denture maker disguised as an RCMP officer and driving a replica police vehicle. The report delves deeply into the causes of the mass shooting, including the killer's violence toward his spouse and the failure of police to act on it.
