A recruitment ‘crisis’ threatens the RCMP’s future — the new boss has plans to turn it around
… The Management Advisory Board, an outside panel of experts set up to give impartial advice to the RCMP commissioner, recently reported that the force’s recruitment problem can be described accurately as a “crisis” — one that could threaten its ability to serve as Canada’s national police force.
