RCMP union pushes for change to help force attract talent from U.S., other countries
The union for front-line RCMP members says Canada’s national police force needs to widen its recruitment net — even to experienced officers from the FBI, UK, or Australia. Right now, applicants must be Canadian citizens or long-term residents, but the National Police Federation wants rules eased, arguing it could bring in skilled talent faster and fill urgent gaps. 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.
