RCMP union pushes for change to help force attract talent from U.S., other countries

The call is part of a broader push for modernized hiring, better training capacity, and quicker access to equipment — all aimed at keeping the RCMP fully staffed and ready for today’s policing demands. Jim Bronskill with The Canadian Press has the full story.
