The names at the top have changed but the attitude remains the same.
That's part of what plagues the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Prince George, according to David Eby, executive director of the British Columbia Civil Liberties Association.
Eby had damming words for past and present management at the Prince George detachment.
Prince George RCMP declined to comment on the BCCLA report, however detachment Supt. Brenda Butterworth-Carr will be addressing the issue during a press conference today.
Meanwhile Eby cited a situation where videotape evidence was apparently destroyed by local RCMP as an indication the problems run deep.
"We think this [kind of behaviour] is an indication that the problems run into management as well," said Eby.
Despite a change on the top rung of the detachment's ladder, Eby was not willing to give new management a complete pass.
"At this point it's probably too early to tell."
Eby said he had only dealt with Butterworth-Carr on one issue, but didn't feel the local attitude had changed.
"We were dealing with sexual improprieties on the part of officers in Prince George and we
didn't feel the response was satisfactory," said Eby.
But what really looks bad for Prince George are the actions of one officer, he said.
"We are extremely concerned about a series of events involving a single officer in Prince George. [This particular officer has] a criminal conviction for assault, being involved in what we feel is the inappropriate, and untimely, death of Clayton Willey and being involved in a shooting in Newfoundland."
Eby said equally as disturbing was the RCMP approach to this particular officer.
"And [to this day] he has apparently not missed a single day of work for a suspension or retraining."
And while this officer was singled out for his involvement in these incidents, the problems didn't stop there.
Eby cited three other incidents which indicate the problems run deep.
But, it wasn't all bad news for the local police force.
The report indicated one participant was especially upbeat about the local department and the report states the generally "good reputation of the RCMP is what makes the misconduct so troubling."
