The makers of the now-defunct Buffalo Tracks app — a sort of Yelp for RCMP detachments — say they fear candid comments left on the application will be used against them by RCMP brass. The app allowed serving officers to post and browse reviews about life in detachments across the country. Members could use the app to rate detachments on aspects like physical condition, amenities and morale. Atwood said the app's founders initially received approval from the force in late 2019 to start Buffalo Tracks (the name is a nod to the RCMP's iconic emblem). A spokesperson for the RCMP said that since the app isn't supported by the service, it's not in a position to comment on it.
