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. New episodes every Tuesday. Listener discretion advised. behindtheredserge@gmail.com

    Before She Testified

    Days before testifying in a conduct hearing tied to a sexual assault allegation, a female RCMP officer receives a series of messages from a colleague—calling her “trash” and accusing her of lying. The conduct is admitted. The impact is clear. But the consequences raise a bigger question about accountability, trust, and what happens when members speak up. behindtheredserge@gmail.com

    After Midnight on Bell Island

    Late one winter night on Bell Island, two RCMP constables and a civilian woman were drinking inside Force housing when a moment of “play” escalated into something far more serious. What followed involved a service firearm, conflicting stories, and years of delay before the truth was finally tested. This episode walks listeners step by step through what actually happened inside that house—and asks why, when the facts became clear, accountability still found a way to slip out the door. behindtheredserge@gmail.com

    Two Uniforms, One Truth

    Two serving RCMP constables. Three serious allegations. One internal process tasked with finding the truth. This episode examines a conduct case that unfolded entirely inside the Force—where personal relationships, professional authority, and credibility collided. As the RCMP weighed conflicting accounts from two sworn officers, the outcome raised deeper questions about accountability, risk, and what happens when an institution decides it cannot choose between two incompatible realities.

    From Guilty Pleas to Forgotten Facts

    A domestic dispute, an international rule broken, an arrest, and a series of decisions that reshaped the entire case. In this episode of Behind the Red Serge, Alex Grant examines how one RCMP misconduct file evolved from serious initial allegations into a drastically narrowed version of events — and what that transformation reveals about truth, accountability, and the Force’s internal processes. This is the story of what happens when the system decides which facts matter… and which ones quietly fade away. Behindtheredserge@gmail.com

  6. The Texts That Broke the Case

    The Texts That Broke the Case

    A vulnerable woman fled a violent partner and turned to the RCMP for help, expecting the protection she’d been promised. What followed wasn’t just a breach of trust — it was a collapse of the very safety net she depended on. In this episode, Alex Grant unravels how a constable assigned to safeguard a domestic-violence victim crossed boundaries that should never be crossed, triggering consequences no one saw coming. This isn’t a story about one bad choice — it’s about how a single moment of misconduct can unravel an entire case, leaving the survivor exposed and the system shown for what it really is.

    Who do you Believe?

    An allegation behind closed doors leads to two completely different stories — and an RCMP conduct process that excludes the very disclosures that could have clarified the truth. This episode examines how the system handled the case, how key evidence was pushed aside, and why credibility became the central battleground. No conclusions — just the conflict. behindtheredserge@gmail.com

    The Night the Troop Fell Silent

    A night out during RCMP training ended with two female officers reporting sexual touching by a fellow member. What followed was a years-long internal process that exposed troubling questions about alcohol, consent, credibility, and who the Force chooses to protect. This episode investigates how the system responded — and what it says about safety inside the RCMP. behindtheredserge@gmail.com
