RCMP working on increasing number of recruits: Minister
According to a federal minister, the RCMP is working to address their under-staffing issue.
Earlier this year, the RCMP in Saskatchewan said they were dealing with staffing issues. While the official numbers are around four per cent, there have been reports the province could be under served by about 25 per cent.
Canada’s Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said Wednesday the RCMP has embarked on an extensive recruitment campaign.
“They are hoping in this coming year to have a new class graduating from depot – the depot training academy in Regina – virtually every single week rather than every month or every two weeks,” he said.
