Indigenous recruitment a priority: N.W.T. RCMP
The head of the RCMP in the Northwest Territories says one of his top priorities is recruiting more Indigenous members and staff.
Indigenous people account for about half of the territory’s population. Lecky said there are currently about six Mounties in the N.W.T. who are Indigenous. “That would be my Number 1. If I could make one thing happen today, that would be it,” he said of recruiting more Indigenous members. The RCMP is also working on an internal plan to enhance its response to target and disrupt the illicit drug and alcohol trade in the territory. Lecky said interdicting, intelligence gathering and training will be key parts of the plan.
