After years of headlines about toxic behaviour and sexual harassment in the ranks, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police is reporting it’s falling far behind on hiring women and visible minorities.
The RCMP has revealed part of its strategy to build a more inclusive workforce — and the number of people they’ll have to hire to meet the federal government’s employment equity standards.
The police service says it needs to hire more than 5,100 women to the regular ranks to make up for a 27 per cent shortfall.
That’ll help.
