A Rookie Mountie, Gang Associates, Police Intelligence, a Planned Robbery — and 12 Charges Stayed
BLACK SHEEP WHISTLEBLOWER | September 1, 2026
At some point Canadians have to stop treating stories like this as isolated embarrassments and start asking the institutional question:
What the actual bleep is going on with the RCMP?
Because this one isn’t internet gossip.
On August 27, 2026, the B.C. Supreme Court sentenced former Surrey RCMP probationary constable Dawwd Alaaeldine Soukary to 18 months in jail for breach of trust.
And what sits behind that single conviction deserves considerably more attention than the words breach of trust might suggest.

Former Surrey RCMP probationary constable Dawwd Alaaeldine Soukary.
HE WASN’T A 20-YEAR VETERAN WHO SLOWLY WENT BAD
That’s one of the most disturbing parts.
Soukary was a rookie.
He was still a probationary constable undergoing field training when the RCMP became aware in the summer of 2020 of allegations concerning his associations with criminals.
The RCMP launched a covert Anti-Corruption Unit investigation and kept him under direct supervision without telling him he was being investigated.
Think about what that means.
Someone entrusted with the authority, databases, intelligence and extraordinary powers of the RCMP had barely gotten through the door before the RCMP’s own anti-corruption people were investigating him.
And what investigators ultimately uncovered was extraordinary.
CONFIDENTIAL POLICE INFORMATION WAS GOING OUT THE DOOR
According to reporting on Justice Murray Blok’s sentencing decision, Soukary accessed confidential police information and disclosed information to criminal associates.
After his arrest, investigators found communications with two people associated with Lower Mainland gangs. The evidence included confidential intelligence and photographs of police material.
The conduct described in the case included accessing confidential police databases for purposes unrelated to legitimate policing.
This wasn’t somebody looking up an ex-girlfriend’s licence plate.
The information involved police intelligence.
According to the court reporting, one exchange concerned a suspected drug trafficker believed to be carrying approximately $40,000, with discussion of robbing him.
That should scare the hell out of anybody who has ever provided confidential information to police.
Because a police database is only as secure as the people authorized to open it.
THEN THE RCMP BUILT A FAKE CORRUPTION OPERATION
Once the RCMP Anti-Corruption Unit suspected what was happening, investigators didn’t simply confront Soukary.
They built an undercover operation.
An officer posed as another corrupt Mountie.
Investigators constructed dozens of scenarios designed to determine how far Soukary was prepared to go.
And he kept going.
According to reporting on the sentencing, the operation culminated in a staged cocaine transaction involving $72,000 in RCMP buy money for a kilogram of cocaine.
Soukary negotiated the purported price down to approximately $63,000, represented that the full amount had been spent, gave $1,000 to the undercover officer and kept approximately $8,000.
The cocaine remained under RCMP control throughout the operation.
Soukary was arrested on January 27, 2021.
His security clearance was revoked, he was suspended, and he eventually resigned from the RCMP in 2021.
THEN CAME 13 CRIMINAL CHARGES
Prosecutors ultimately charged Soukary with 13 offences, including allegations involving:
- breach of trust;
- trafficking a controlled substance;
- distributing cannabis;
- conspiracy to commit robbery; and
- theft over $5,000.
Those were allegations at the charging stage, not 13 convictions.
That distinction matters.
Soukary ultimately pleaded guilty to one count of breach of trust.
The remaining 12 charges were stayed.
On August 27, 2026, the B.C. Supreme Court sentenced him to 18 months imprisonment.
A DNA order and $200 victim surcharge were also reportedly imposed.
AND THAT LEAVES SOME DAMN SERIOUS QUESTIONS
The fact that the RCMP caught Soukary deserves acknowledgment.
Their Anti-Corruption Unit appears to have conducted an extensive covert investigation rather than ignoring the information.
That’s what an anti-corruption unit is supposed to do.
But catching one corrupt officer doesn’t eliminate the institutional questions raised by what that officer was apparently able to access and disclose.
Quite the opposite.
It raises them.
How did someone still on probation get into this position?
What vetting occurred before he was hired?
What controls existed over his access to sensitive databases?
How quickly can supervisors detect an officer improperly searching police intelligence systems?
Were every one of his database searches audited after the allegations surfaced?
Were every person whose information he improperly accessed identified and notified where appropriate?
Did investigators determine whether information had been accessed for anyone beyond the criminal associates identified in the prosecution?
Were other officers’ credentials, terminals or information involved?
And perhaps most importantly:
How does the public know this was an isolated case?
That’s not an accusation that other officers were involved.
It’s the obvious accountability question created by the facts of the case itself.
THE OTHER 12 CHARGES MATTER — BUT SO DOES THE LEGAL DISTINCTION
There is another point worth making because accountability journalism has to be accurate.
Twelve charges being stayed does not mean Soukary was convicted of those offences.
He wasn’t.
Nor does a stay necessarily mean prosecutors concluded those alleged events never happened.
The conviction before the court was breach of trust, and the sentencing judge dealt with the admitted factual circumstances relevant to that offence.
Those distinctions matter.
Otherwise legitimate criticism becomes exaggeration, and exaggeration gives institutions an easy excuse to dismiss the underlying issue.
The underlying issue here needs no exaggeration whatsoever.
THE RCMP ITSELF SAYS PUBLIC TRUST IS ON THE LINE
When the charges were announced, senior RCMP leadership acknowledged that allegations of this nature can damage the public’s perception of the organization and that the RCMP has an obligation to maintain public trust and confidence.
Exactly.
But public trust isn’t restored by asking the public to trust harder.
It’s restored through transparency, independent scrutiny, auditing and consequences.
And there is a fundamental difference between saying:
We caught this officer.
and answering:
How was this possible in the first place, what information escaped police control, who was affected, and what has changed so it cannot happen again?
Those are questions Canadians are entitled to ask.
THIS IS WHY POLICE DATABASE ABUSE IS SO SERIOUS
Police possess information ordinary Canadians could never legally obtain.
Addresses.
Vehicle information.
Criminal intelligence.
Investigative information.
Associates.
Witness information.
Suspect information.
Operational intelligence.
Potentially information concerning confidential sources and ongoing investigations.
People provide information to police because they’re told that information will be protected.
A police officer who turns those systems into a private intelligence service for criminal associates doesn’t merely commit an offence against his employer.
He attacks the integrity of the entire information system upon which policing depends.
And every legitimate Mountie should be furious about it too.
Because thousands of officers who follow the rules depend upon Canadians believing that handing information to police will not put them in danger.
SO YES — WHAT THE ACTUAL BLEEP IS GOING ON WITH THE RCMP?
One former officer does not prove the RCMP as an institution is corrupt.
It would be irresponsible to say that it does.
But this case does prove something happened that should never have been possible:
A probationary RCMP constable obtained confidential police information and provided information to criminal associates, triggering an extraordinary undercover anti-corruption investigation and ultimately an 18-month prison sentence for breach of trust.
The RCMP deserves credit for investigating its own officer.
Now Canadians deserve the other half of accountability:
What failed?
What changed?
Who audited the damage?
How many unauthorized database searches occurred?
Who had their information accessed?
Were those people ever told?
And what safeguards exist today to make damn sure the next person entrusted with those databases can’t turn an RCMP terminal into somebody’s private intelligence service?
Those aren’t anti-police questions.
They’re pro-accountability questions.
And Canadians deserve answers.
