The demands of protecting parliamentarians and other public figures are placing 'significant strain' on RCMP personnel, warns an internal briefing note. 

RCMP confirms more than 100 foreign interference inquiries, including threats of elected officialsThe national police force is “forced to walk a delicate balance” in providing protective services in response to threats flagged by parliamentarians, says the newly released February memo.

The briefing note, obtained from the RCMP through the Access to Information Act, was prepared for a meeting of the deputy ministers’ protection committee, co-chaired by the national security and intelligence adviser and the deputy minister of Public Safety Canada. Labour market conditions and specialized training requirements for “close protection” officers pose challenges and a potential risk of delay in fully staffing funded positions in the immediate term, the February note says.

“The specific impacts will become clearer in the coming months as plans for these events begin to take shape. Even though the RCMP receives dedicated funding for these events it often does not come in the year for which these expenses are incurred.”Exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the RCMP training program to be one of the PM’s bodyguards
