RCMP federal policing recruits could soon skip Regina training depot, frontline policing
Head of federal policing says force ‘not doing one-size-fits-all’ anymore
"We're really modernizing our approach to say we're not doing one-size-fits-all," Deputy Commissioner Mark Flynn, the head of federal policing, told CBC News.
"It's a recognition that not everybody wants to do frontline policing prior to coming into this very challenging and rewarding work that we have in the federal policing program."
The RCMP sent out an internal note recently alerting members to the proposed change. The idea is to allow applicants who want to work on federal files — which include the RCMP's most sensitive and high-profile cases and involve things like foreign interference and counterterrorism — to apply directly to work with Flynn.
Successful applicants would then train at a facility in Ottawa, instead of at the historic training grounds in Regina, and would not have to serve in a detachment.

Flynn said he needs to change how he recruits officers to stay on top of a growing caseload.
"I would love to be able to investigate every single crime that I know of and every single criminal that I know. But I cannot," he said.
"There are times when I am faced with lists of priority targets, where we have to triage them and work on the highest threat, even though we know about other criminal networks that are operating that we can't target."
The RCMP has been sending its recruits to the RCMP Academy in Regina for more than a century. Cadets undergo a 26-week training program there before being posted to a detachment, often in a rural area. Those interested in federal policing can then request a transfer.
It's what Flynn did. He said he recognizes that career path likely discourages many people from applying.
"If there is somebody who is interested in coming into the organization and specializing, we don't want the traditional model of having people go do frontline policing be a barrier for them," he said.
Many reluctant to serve in remote detachments
Michael Kempa, a professor of criminology at the University of Ottawa, said the policy change could address a roadblock that thwarts RCMP efforts to recruit people with higher levels of education.
"I obviously get lots of students coming into my office hours talking about careers in policing. Many of them have been very reluctant to consider joining the RCMP ... They say, 'I don't want to be sent to remote areas of ... northern Canada, northwest Canada to serve in local community policing initiatives," he said.
"I think if we're looking to recruit people that have those higher levels of education, that would certainly help."
The RCMP has set up a pilot project to test the idea. It's a direct entry stream for the protective services program, which expanded its services earlier this year to provide close protection for senior federal ministers and public servants in response to the rising threat of political violence.

The plan is to review the results of the pilot, make appropriate modifications and begin dedicated training for federal policing recruits in 2024 at a facility in Ottawa, Flynn said.
"If we're going to remove as many barriers as we can that impact our ability to recruit and retain people ... it's also important to provide that training option in the city where the work is, and where the people want to live," he said.
Flynn said the federal policing training course — which still needs to be approved by the RCMP's health and safety team — will focus on the demands of federal policing and provide updated, specialized training more often. The first cadets in the pilot project are getting 14 weeks of training, with an emphasis on close protection and driving.
"I went through training over 25 years ago and the training I received then was current then," said Flynn.
"But as I've gone into some of the positions that I have gone into, I will tell you that I should have had updated, more current training for many of those positions."
RCMP union likes the depot model
Not everyone is happy with the planned change.
Brian Sauvé is president of the National Police Federation, the RCMP's union. He said he couldn't comment on the specifics of the proposed training program because he wasn't involved in its development — but he praised the depot model.
It "ensures members of the RCMP are well prepared to effectively respond in their own communities, or wherever needed, to whatever emergency awaits, in contract or federal policing roles," he said in a media statement issued earlier this month.
"The overwhelming trend across Canada is to increase the standards for basic and ongoing police training, not reduce or silo them based on a specific need."

RCMP's DNA for more than a century. (Troy Fleece/Canadian Press)
Flynn said that while he knows there will be concerns about the new approach, he has to respond to increasingly dire recruitment numbers.
The RCMP is falling short of baseline staffing levels across Canada, leaving detachments shorthanded and possibly putting public safety at risk.
For years, Mounties in federal policing have been posted to detachments to address gaps in provincial policing without being replaced.
"When you look at ... the demand and the evolution that's occurring in the the criminal networks — whether you look at organized crime supporting hostile states, or organized crime using hostile states' funding and services to further their efforts — we don't have the resources to combat [it] all at the same time," Flynn said.
"The reality for me is that if we want to become a modern organization, we have to make changes."
RCMP is not the 'FBI of the north': Flynn
Flynn insisted the upcoming changes are not a first step toward getting the RCMP out of contract policing.
Earlier this summer, the Toronto Star reported that the idea of transforming the RCMP into a Canadian version of the FBI is picking up traction in the Prime Minister's Office.
The idea, which has circulated in Ottawa over the years, is to pull the RCMP out of the business of frontline contract policing in eight provinces, three territories and 150 municipalities and shift its focus to federal policing.
"No, this is geared towards federal policing. [It] is not the FBI of the North. We are the Royal Canadian Mounted Police with a strong, proud history" said Flynn.

The federal government is reviewing the RCMP's contracts with provinces, territories and municipalities, which are set to expire in 2032. Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc said recently it's too early to hint at a decision about the future of contract policing.
"We think there are some things that are working very well, some things that perhaps need to be improved and some jurisdictions may decide to go in a different direction," he said during last week's cabinet retreat in Charlottetown.
"It's not even preliminary to say that there are plans to unscramble that omelette that quickly."
Mass shooting report recommends phasing out depot
Kempa said it appears inevitable that the RCMP will shed some of its contracts. Some communities — like Surrey, B.C. — are moving to replace the Mounties with new, local police forces.
"The fact of the matter is it'll never be like a binary light switch, where one day you flip the switch and the RCMP is just out of contract policing entirety," he said. "There's just too many places across Canada that are very remote and don't have the resources to establish their own independent municipal policing services.
"The question of RCMP reform is really going to require a very measured and adult conversation in the months and years to come."
LeBlanc also will have to decide soon whether his government will adopt the recommendations of the Mass Casualty Commision, the inquiry that reviewed the RCMP's response to the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia that left 22 people dead.
The commissioners have called for the RCMP to phase out the depot training model by 2032 and for the federal government to replace it with a three-year, degree-based training program.

MCC Day 68 - Deputy Commissioner Brennan, and Comparing RCMP Response in Saskatchewan 537 views Sep 10, 2022 Adam Rodgers 727 subscribers The second in command RCMP officer in Canada, Dep. Commissioner Brian Brennan, testified today at the Mass Casualty Commission. He discussed the relationship between the NS RCMP and the national leadership, the difficulties being experienced by the top RCMP officers in NS, and operational issues like emergency alerts and decommissioned vehicle sales. DC Brennan also mentioned the lessons he felt were learned by the RCMP, which were applied in Saskatchewan last week. There, the police did issue emergency alerts, and had air support. They have not learned, however, to be forthcoming with operational details, and their refusal to discuss the death of the main culprit in the stabbings has echoes of the RCMP press conferences in NS following the April 18-19, 2020 shootings. There were examples raised of DC Brennan being a force for secrecy within the RCMP, including his advice not to proactively reveal the existence of the 2011 Criminal Intelligence Bulletin regarding the killer wanting to "kill a cop". 12 Comments Karen Crisper Karen Crisper I thought the cross examination today was done very well. Did you happen to catch the cross questioning about an audio recording that existed of the controversial call with Lucki? I was looking forward to your take on this. I hadn’t heard anything about this recording before and was “surprised” that after the top brass gave sworn testimony to the parliamentary committee AND the MCC about this call, with all providing differing accounts of what was said, that this recording (which could have clarified that) was never mentioned by anyone. This speaks again to the fact that they are only as transparent as they need to be. Not forthcoming about things that exist, unless they know that others are aware. I hope the MCC is taking note. And I hope the recording surfaces. Deleting something from a device can often be retrieved. · Adam Rodgers Adam Rodgers Yes, after the many different accounts of the call, it would be fascinating for the audio recording to surface and be available for us all to hear. Unfortunately, I do not expect that to be the case. David Amos David Amos @Adam Rodgers BINGO https://can01.safelinks. RCMP says recording of disputed Lucki phone call did exist but has been deleted Spokesperson says RCMP is reviewing the situation Haley Ryan · CBC News · Posted: Sep 13, 2022 3:54 PM AT RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki appears as a witness at the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security on Parliament Hill on July 25. (Sean Kilpatrick/The Canadian Press) One of Canada's top Mounties says there was a recording of a conference call with the RCMP commissioner that sparked concerns of political interference — but it has since been deleted. Deputy Commissioner Brian Brennan testified Friday about the recording before the Mass Casualty Commission leading the public inquiry into the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shootings. Brennan said Dan Brien, director of media relations with the RCMP, recorded at least some of the phone call. Brennan was also on the April 28, 2020, call with Commissioner Brenda Lucki and high-ranking Nova Scotia RCMP officers and civilian staff. Brennan said he was aware of an internal RCMP investigation into where the recording was and whether it could be retrieved, but has been told the recording is gone. "It doesn't exist because Mr. Brien has deleted it from whatever phone he was using," Brennan said. RCMP head says claims of political interference after N.S. mass shooting 'not based on fact' High-ranking Mountie insists Lucki pressed him about releasing gun details after N.S. shooting There has been disagreement about what happened during that April 28 call. Four Nova Scotia RCMP team members have told the commission that Lucki was angry that details about the gunman's firearms were not released at a news conference earlier that day. Chief Supt. Darren Campbell's notes from that day said Lucki had "promised the minister of public safety and the Prime Minister's Office" the RCMP would release the details ahead of the Liberal government's pending gun legislation. But Brennan has told the commission he didn't remember legislation being mentioned during the call. Lucki has said that Bill Blair, then public safety minister, never directed or ordered her to disclose the makes and models of the guns. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said the government did not put any "undue" pressure on the RCMP. Brennan said he didn't learn until April or May of this year, two years after the call, that Brien had recorded it. Brian Brennan speaks to reporters in this 2018 file photo. The RCMP deputy commissioner has told the N.S. mass shooting inquiry that he is aware of a recording of the April 28, 2020, call with Commissioner Lucki. (Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press) RCMP spokesperson Robin Percival confirmed in an email to CBC News on Tuesday that a recording was made of "some part" of the April 28 phone call. She said RCMP senior management was "recently made aware of the recording" and the commission was "promptly" informed of the situation. "The RCMP has been informed the recording is no longer available," Percival said. She said the RCMP is reviewing the matter under the applicable privacy and security regimes "to determine what further actions are required," but as that review is ongoing the RCMP cannot comment further on the issue. Brennan made no mention of this recording in his appearance before the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security (SECU) meeting in July around allegations of political interference, or his August interview with the commission. Michael Scott, a lawyer with Patterson Law representing many victims' families, suggested to Brennan it would have been helpful to know about this recording before now to clear up the "glaring discrepancy" between what Lucki and what the Nova Scotia team say happened on that call. "I don't disagree. It never came up in terms of the meeting — and I don't have a lot of information about the recording," Brennan said. Lawyer Michael Scott of Patterson Law, whose firm represents more than a dozen families, questions RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki at the Mass Casualty Commission inquiry on Aug. 23. (Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press) Scott told CBC News that Brennan's comments caught his attention because it seems the existence of this recording has been known for months. Scott said his team would be asking commission counsel about how they are pressing the federal justice department to get a clear answer on the issue. "I don't think we'll be satisfied until we get either a copy of the recording, or a lot of details about how an electronic recording of a meeting with the RCMP national headquarters could have gone missing," Scott said. When Scott asked Brennan last week why it's taken so long to figure out what happened to the recording, Brennan agreed that it's "not that complicated" to order that Brien's phone should be retrieved, but he didn't know where that process stood. Even if the recording has been deleted, Brennan said he had no idea about whether it could still be recovered from the cloud, or whether a search warrant might be needed for the phone. If a recording of the entirety of the April 28 call does exist, Brennan said it would "bring absolute clarity" to all the questions that are being asked by the commission and House of Commons committee. "There would be no doubt, no room for interpretation, if it's there in its entirety," Brennan said. Brien requested by committee The Mass Casualty Commission is continuing to follow up with the Attorney General of Canada about "whether such a recording still exists, and if so to obtain a copy," investigations director Barbara McLean said in an email Tuesday. The SECU has requested to hear testimony from Brien, but he did not appear at either of their meetings into the possible political interference issue in July or August. The committee will next meet sometime before Sept. 30 to determine if it wishes to continue the current study of this issue, and what witnesses they should hear from.

JOHN LAPPA/THE SUDBURY STAR TORONTO - Ontario Liberals illegally tried to lure Sudbury byelection candidate Andrew Olivier into dropping out of a race with an offer of a job or appointment, an OPP document says. The explosive allegation of criminal wrongdoing is contained in court documents sworn and filed by Det.-Const. Erin Thomas, of the OPP Anti Rackets Branch, and obtained by Sun Media Thursday, the same day as the Sudbury byelection. Thomas said in the Information to Obtain (ITO), which has not been proven in court, that there are grounds to believe that a Criminal Code offence was committed — “the solicitation, negotiation in any manner or recommendation with respect to an appointment to an office in expectation of a direct or indirect reward, advantage or benefit.” Olivier has released recordings of conversations he had with Sudbury Liberal organizer Gerry Lougheed Jr. and Liberal campaign director Pat Sorbara, who is also the premier’s deputy chief of staff, which he claims are proof that he was offered a job or appointment to step aside for preferred candidate Glenn Thibeault. Olivier also spoke to Premier Kathleen Wynne but that discussion was apparently not recorded. “Sorbara explained to Olivier the Premier is desperate to win back the Sudbury seat in the legislature,” the ITO says. The court documents add another incredible twist to an already confusing byelection that began when NDP MPP Joe Cimino quit suddenly last year after less than six months in office. Having run for the Liberals in last June’s general election, Olivier prepared to seek the nomination again. Instead, Olivier said he was contacted by Lougheed and Sorbara and told that he needed to step aside so that Thibeault could carry the Liberal banner. At the time, Thibeault was a sitting NDP MP. “I do believe that Gerry Lougheed and Patricia Sorbara both engaged in soliciting and negotiating with Andrew Olivier in their respective conversations,” the ITO says. “I believe the words spoken by both Lougheed and Sorbara to Olivier assists me in my belief the Criminal Code offence has been committed.” The OPP investigator notes that Sorbara and Lougheed referenced Wynne in their conversations, and that she may have the authority to secure a position for Olivier. “I believe this reference to the premier’s authority threatens the appearance of the government’s integrity,” the ITO says. Sorbara, Lougheed and Wynne have denied that they were trying to offer Olivier a job, noting the premier had the authority and used it to appoint Thibeault as her candidate in Sudbury. Wynne said they were just trying to ensure that Olivier stayed engaged with the party. The Toronto Sun is reviewing the 250-page ITO.

Sean Mcgillis will be acting D/Commr. (Cell.613-808-0554, Off. 613-843-5914.) https://www.cbc.ca/news/ Michael Duheme named interim RCMP commissioner Former employees warn structural and cultural issues remain for next RCMP leader Catharine Tunney · CBC News · Posted: Mar 17, 2023 5:00 AM ADT New interim RCMP Commissioner faces challenges Duration 1:46 Michael Duheme is selected as interim RCMP Commissioner as Brenda Lucki winds down her controversial tenure. The change comes as the force faces enormous challenges around police culture. The federal government has announced Michael Duheme will lead the RCMP in the interim as they hunt for a permanent leader. Duheme serves as deputy commissioner of federal policing and will take the helm tomorrow after RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki's retirement. "I have every confidence that his extensive experience in policing across the country and around the world has prepared him well to lead our national police force," said Public Safety Marco Mendicino in a statement. Duheme, originally from Chambly, Que., started his career as a general duty investigator in Nova Scotia and has served stints as an officer with RCMP's Emergency Response Team, a member of the Kosovo peacekeeping mission, a VIP personal protection officer, the first director of the Parliamentary Protective Service and commanding officer of National Division in Ottawa. As the head of the RCMP's federal policing wing, he's had his hand in some of the country's most sensitive files. Duheme has made recent appearances in the public spotlight, accompanying Lucki to the Emergencies Act inquiry last fall and last month gave an update to MPs probing allegations of foreign interference. WATCH | RCMP announces new interim RCMP commissioner Michael Duheme RCMP announces new interim RCMP commissioner Michael Duheme Duration 1:45 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the search for a permanent commissioner continues and adds the government will choose someone who, in light of recent police tragedies, 'will keep the men and women who protect Canadians safe themselves.' While Lucki's time in the post saw her navigate some profound challenges, some former RCMP employees say a lot of those challenges will still be around when the 25th commissioner eventually takes office. "They are doomed," said Eli Sopow, a former civilian member who served for 20 years on research and analysis teams. "It doesn't matter who you put in, because the structure is all broken. It's like one of those Escher drawings where you see stairways going all over the place ... That's the RCMP." Lucki was the RCMP's first permanent female commissioner. She followed in the footsteps of Bev Busson, now a senator, who served as interim commissioner. When she was appointed in 2018, Lucki was tasked with modernizing a police force in the grips of a sexual assault and harassment scandal. PM says reconciliation efforts will be a big factor in choosing next RCMP commissioner Mendicino says next RCMP commissioner needs to take force 'to newer heights' "She was given an impossible task," said Karen Adams, one of the first women to don the red serge after the force allowed women to serve back in 1974. The RCMP was forced to compensate more than 2,300 women who experienced sexual harassment or abuse — including instances of rape — and discrimination based on gender or sexual orientation while serving in the RCMP. In all, $125,266,500 was paid to claimants and their lawyers. Adams was one of those claimants. She said she had no idea what she was getting into when, at age 22, she joined the first graduating troop of women. "I was interested in helping people," she said. "I was so naive … I don't think any of us were prepared for what was coming our way, to be honest."

(Ben Nelms/CBC) Adams, who has written a book about her time in the force, has said she was raped by her supervisor. She said she was too afraid to report it and instead suppressed the experience, which left her to suffer from PTSD. Adams would go on to have a 28-year career in the RCMP. She worked alongside Lucki when they were both corporals "The biggest issues in the force [have] been cultural issues. And culture is very hard to change," she said. "And Brenda, and any commissioner that follows, is going to have a huge, huge problem attempting to change the culture." Lauren Bernardi, a lawyer and workplace investigator, said police culture in general has been prone to workplace harassment. RCMP officers have to respond to traumatic events and often live in isolated areas, she said, which can lead them to believe that the only way to be a police officer is to be tough and strong at all times. "Transforming any culture is hard, because you're talking about behavioural change for individuals," Bernardi said. "When you think about the RCMP, how big they are, how dispersed people are, it makes it that much more of a challenge." Bernardi said she has seen some signs that the RCMP is moving in the right direction — like the establishment of the Independent Centre for Harassment Resolution, which has outside investigators review allegations of sexual harassment or abuse in the ranks. "I think it is a massive undertaking and maybe we don't always appreciate how hard that is," she said. WATCH | Did Justin Trudeau lose faith in the RCMP commissioner? Did Justin Trudeau lose faith in the RCMP commissioner? Duration 20:49 Feb. 22, 2023 | RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki has announced she’s stepping down from the job next month. Andrew Chang looks back at her turbulent tenure and asks: was Lucki pushed out? Sopow, now an associate professor at University Canada West, said Lucki's successor will have to grapple with structural issues, duelling mandates and a confusing command structure. The force has contracts with most provinces and about 150 municipalities to provide frontline policing. It's also in charge of federal policing, including investigations of foreign interference, cybercrime and organized crime. Sopow said he doesn't understand why the head of a police force — even a national one — reports to the federal public safety minister. "The RCMP is a police service. Its culture is unlike anything else. It is not the agricultural department," he said. "Where the RCMP has consistently found a real problem is, how do you lead and manage an organization that has to be credibly responsive to public safety ... with [this] uber-bureaucratic structure? Well, it can't." Karen Adams was one of the first women to don the red serge after the force allowed women to serve back in 1974.

(Submitted by Karen Adams) The RCMP's relationship with the federal government has plagued Lucki throughout her time as commissioner. She was accused of meddling in the RCMP's investigation of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass shooting by pressing investigators — on the federal government's behalf — to make public details about the weapons used by the gunman. Both Lucki and Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair have denied interfering with the RCMP's investigation. During her testimony before the Emergencies Act inquiry — one of her last major public appearances as commissioner — Lucki said it's time to bring in better guardrails between the national police force and the federal government to avoid future allegations of political interference. She was also criticized over her response to allegations of systemic racism in the force and to the families of the victims of the 2020 mass shooting. WATCH | Trudeau says Otawa will take 'diversity' and 'Indigenous representation' into account for next commissioner Government will take 'diversity' and 'Indigenous representation' into account in choosing a new RCMP commissioner: Trudeau Duration 1:36 Asked about Brenda Lucki's replacement, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says an independent process is taking place and will ensure that the final choice represents the 'fullness of Canada.' Mendicino's office said more details will be made public about the hunt for the next commissioner soon. "We will be searching for an exceptional new leader who will keep our communities safe, while advancing the reforms necessary to maintain the confidence of all Canadians. We look forward to sharing more details about the process in the near future," said his office. "We will search out somebody who reflects the best values and capabilities and skills and who is committed to continuing to reform this institution," Mendicino said last month. A 'ship that's sinking' Sopow said that while he doesn't believe Lucki was the best choice back in 2018, some of the problems she faced in the job were bigger than her and still need addressing. "God bless her heart. You could put anybody in there you want and it won't work. It simply won't work," he said. "How can you put somebody as captain of a ship that's sinking without any radar, any devices, anything to give a direction of where it's going?" Adams said she believes that if the next commissioner wants to make changes, they'll need to start at the RCMP's training depot — "the cradle of the force." As RCMP defends neck hold, minister says he 'very clearly' laid out his expectations for reform "It all begins there. It's that sense of, 'Do as you're told, don't question, learn to not speak up,'" Adams said. During her time as commissioner, Lucki did act to modernize the depot's screening tools to make the RCMP more diverse and avoid recruiting people with racist beliefs. "I hope they can work things out so it becomes a safer place," Adams said of the next commissioner.

(Ben Nelms/CBC) "For women, for people of colour, for First Nations people. I just hope it becomes much more inclusive than it has been over the last 150 years." Nearly 50 years after women were first allowed to join the force, Adams said she still hopes women can see the RCMP as a worthy career path. But it's not something she would have recommended to her children. "I'm glad my own daughters didn't pursue that career."
