Jury releases 25 recommendations for RCMP, gov't after shooting death inquest

After hearing two weeks of testimony, a coroner's jury looking into the death of Felix Taqqaugaq released 25 recommendations, which include expanding mental health training for police officers and improving access to certified Inuktitut translators.

Taqqaugaq, a 30-year-old Inuk man with schizophrenia, was shot by RCMP in his Igloolik home in 2012. The incident prompted a coroner's inquest, in which RCMP officers testified that the fatal shot came as Taqqaugaq charged at an officer with a knife.
