The BC Prosecution Service has approved a charge of assault against a member of the Port McNeill RCMP.
Port McNeill RCMP Const. Keegan Schneider was charged with one count of assault by the BC Prosecution Service (BCPS) on May 4, 2026, following a June 21, 2025 incident in Port McNeill.
An Information charging Schneider was sworn under Port Hardy Law Courts file number 19011-1. The first court appearance is scheduled for June 2 at the Port Hardy Law Courts.
The charge was approved by an experienced Crown Counsel who has no connection with the accused. Charge assessment guidelines in reviewing all Reports to Crown Counsel are established in the BCPS Crown Counsel Policy Manual. The BCPS also follows policy guidelines for assessing allegations against peace officers.
As the case is now before the court, BCPS will not release additional information.
