Moncton RCMP suffered loss and trauma this week, after a lone gunman shot five Mounties, wounding two and killing three. PTSD rates within the RCMP are on the rise, and critics like Dr. Jeff Morley, say the force should be doing more to help officers who are at risk.

Moncton RCMP suffered loss and trauma this week, after a lone gunman shot five Mounties, wounding two and killing three. PTSD rates within the RCMP are on the rise, and critics like Dr. Jeff Morley, say the force should be doing more to help officers who are at risk. Morley, a psychologist and former RCMP officer, says the contingent in Moncton will receive great support on the outset, but is concerned about the quality and availability of long-term treatment.
