Change at the RCMP

Things are changing at the RCMP.

We acknowledge the mistakes of our past, and are using them to drive positive change for the future. Over the next few years, we will be focusing on recruitment and retention, workplace culture and operational excellence.

We will continue to ensure that we are the modern, inclusive and healthy organization that our employees and all Canadians expect of us.

Find out the latest on some of the many ways we are modernizing.

Improve accountability, transparency and conduct

No one is above the law, including those who are sworn to uphold it. The RCMP is committed to having in place a fair, transparent, effective and modern system that addresses the conduct of our employees. We will ensure that employees are held to account and the consequences are meaningful and rehabilitative.

The RCMP will implement a Body-Worn Camera Program to improve public transparency and accountability and to respond to concerns about policing from racialized and Indigenous communities.

The objective of the program is to equip all RCMP officers who have operational interactions with the public with a body-worn camera while on duty. This includes the frontline police officers that hold specific duty functions in uniform policing activities and account for over 90% of use of force encounters documented. It is estimated that between 10,000 and 15,000 cameras will be deployed.

The program will also implement supporting software technology to store and ensure ready access to video evidence to support court proceedings, access to information requests and other complaints processes in a manner that respects privacy legislation.
