Brock Graham’s Parole Release: A Public Safety Issue

Ducharme speaks about Victims Rights and Public Safety concerns

A former Vancouver Police officer serving two life sentences for the murders of Lynn Duggan and Patti Ducharme has been granted day parole. Graham was convicted of killing Duggan in 1993 and Ducharme in 1996.

The Ducharme family is deeply concerned about the decision and the conditions of release. Graham is being released without a public announcement, without a publicly disclosed release location, without electronic monitoring, and without geographical restrictions to British Columbia or Alberta, according to the family’s account of the Parole Board decision.

The family has also raised questions about Graham’s documented risk assessment, including his reported 2021 assessment as high risk to reoffend, and a previous warning received from Corrections Canada regarding a family member’s personal safety.

The Ducharme family believes that victims must have a stronger voice in decisions that directly affect their safety and that public safety and access to information must remain central considerations in the release of individuals convicted of serious violent offences.

The Larger Public Safety Concern

Canadians deserve transparency, accountability, and meaningful consideration of public safety when individuals convicted of serious violent offences are released into the community. This is about more than one parole decision—it is about whether Canada’s laws and policies strike the appropriate balance between an offender’s privacy and security interests and the rights, safety, and access to information of victims, their families, and the public. It raises fundamental questions for all Canadians: Do our current laws and Parole Board policies reflect the values and expectations of the communities they are intended to protect, and do they give victims and their families a meaningful voice when decisions directly affect their safety?

The Public’s Concerns & Response

After a single publication in the Vancouver Sun and Province Newspapers, Cold Case Canada published an article announcing Graham’s parole release, the public is outraged. Within 24 hours of the posting on Facebook, the article received over 1K comments, 1.5K likes, and over 380 shares, with hundreds asking where Brock’s current picture is and where he is being released. Of all 1.2K comments posted before it was locked (3 days later), not one single person endorsed his release. *See all media coverage in the bottom section.

In response to the public’s concern, the Ducharme and Duggan family are asking the Parole Board of Canada and Correctional Service Canada to address these questions:

Public Safety and Transparency

• Why is Graham’s release location not being publicly shared?
• Why is a recent photograph of Graham not made available to the public?
• How are the Canadian people being informed when Graham gets placed into a halfway house?
• How does the CSC and NPB monitor released inmates getting on Canadian flights?
• How are the public supposed to be able to protect themselves without knowing this information?

Protection of Victims and Their Families

• What has been done to mitigate the safety risk to one of the victim’s family members who was warned by Correctional Service Canada that they should be concerned about their safety if Graham gets released?
• Why do Graham’s release conditions not include travel restrictions to Alberta and British Columbia, where his victims reside, as was the case for all previous parole hearings?

Risk Assessment of Accountability, Disclosure and Unresolved Questions

• How does the Parole Board justify Graham’s release when he stated in 2021 that he is high risk to reoffend?
• What information did the Board rely upon in assessing his level of accountability and insight?
• How did the Board weigh Graham’s inability to provide remorse or disclosure regarding two unresolved issues when assessing whether Graham’s risk could safely be managed in the community?
• Did the Board consider Graham’s continued failure to disclose what happened to Lynn or the location of her remains when assessing his risk?
• If it was considered, how did the Board determine that this unresolved issue did not materially affect its assessment of his accountability, insight, remorse, or risk?

Electronic (GPS) Monitoring for Serious Offenders

• Why is Electronic Monitoring not part of Graham’s conditions when it has been recommended by Senator Boisvenu, the creator of E.M. in Canada, and former MP Alistair MacGregor?
• Graham has offered twice to be electronically monitored; why has that not been enacted?
• Why are victims not entitled to know if their offender is being monitored when the offender is aware?
