Why are so many places in Canada talking about ditching the RCMP?

EDMONTON—When Ron Zazulak joined the RCMP, it was seen as the “big leagues” of policing, he says.

He doesn’t think that’s the case anymore. And there are indications he’s not alone in his opinion.

Zazulak spent a career with the Mounties after joining the force in the 1960s. When he retired in 2000, he bought a farm with his wife and spent years living in rural Alberta near St. Lina, where they bordered three different RCMP detachment areas — the closest one being in St. Paul, 40 minutes away.
