Quebec-based RCMP officer charged with uttering threats online toward Donald Trump

The investigation began after a colleague reported the video, and Dumerlus remains suspended as he faces one count of uttering threats.

  • On Wednesday, the RCMP charged officer Evenson Dumerlus, 34, with uttering threats against U.S. President Donald Trump after he allegedly posted a threatening video on Snapchat while deployed for summit security.
  • The alleged offense occurred on June 3, 2025, while Dumerlus was stationed in Kananaskis, Alberta, to oversee security for the summit; a colleague identified the video and immediately reported it.
  • Spokesperson Marie-Pier Guertin emphasized that officers must maintain professional standards, noting Dumerlus remains suspended; she warned a "momentary slip" on social media can bring "big consequences."
  • Dumerlus faces one count of uttering threats and is scheduled to appear at the St-Jean-sur-Richelieu courthouse on July 30, 2026; the RCMP condemned violent statements in a news release.
  • Federal police continue reminding the public that online conduct can lead to criminal charges and urge reporting threats to the National Security Information Network to combat such crimes.
