We can’t reform the RCMP - we must completely change its model
as toxic, misogynistic and homophobic. Testimony at the Nova Scotia inquiry paints a damning picture of operational chaos and weak leadership in the RCMP while the current Emergencies Act inquiry portrays an indecisive federal police force, uncertain about its role and mission. The public is clearly taking note: A 2022 Ekos poll found that only 57 per cent of Canadians expressed satisfaction with how the RCMP fulfills its role in maintaining public safety.
Contract policing also misshapes how the RCMP develops its officers. They are trained for, and have formative experience in, provincial and local policing – an approach no other advanced country uses to recruit, train and deploy its federal police forces. Second, refocus the RCMP on federal policing. Through legislation, the government would define the roles, responsibilities and accountabilities of the RCMP as Canada’s federal police force. These would include addressing contemporary policing challenges such as cybercrime, transnational crime, white-collar crime and national security.
