Staff Sgt. Brian Rehill — a risk manager at the RCMP’s Operational Communications Centre in Truro, N.S. — told investigators with the public inquiry investigating the killings that support from other officers helped him cope with the aftermath.
As a risk manager, he said he worked alongside 911 call takers and dispatchers at thecommunications centre in Truro, giving safety directions to officers “engaged in high-risk activities” during non-business hours when district supervisors and commanders aren’t on duty. Rehill said he could have faced criticism if he’d sent in a second team and officers had shot at one another. “People would be saying, ‘What the hell were you thinking, Rehill, having two or three teams there in the pitch black and they don’t know where the other one is?”‘ he said in the interview.
An occupational health and safety investigator’s report that looked at workplace compliance issues concluded there was an “environment of confusion” over the roles of the initial RCMP supervisors on the night of the mass shooting. In the interview, Rehill said he understood he was the “initial critical incident commander,” and was the “go between” until a trained critical incident commander — Staff Sgt. Jeff West — arrived on the scene later that night.
