RCMP reports trouble recruiting for police forces on Vancouver Island and across Canada
Posted: Aug. 23, 2022 5:59PMRCMP detachments across Vancouver Island and the rest of B.C. are grappling with a serious shortage of police officers.
Hard vacancies are described as positions that are unfilled while soft vacancies are when officers are off with injuries or maternity leave as examples.The RCMP training depot in Regina was essentially closed for two years during COVID and it could take a lot longer to catch up. The job itself is a lot more complex than it used to be and negative sentiment toward police driven recently by the “defund police” movement, primarily in the U.S. has negatively impacted the number of people wanting to enter policing.
“The inability to get officers to fill positions in Nanaimo is an ongoing and, I would describe, serious problem,” said Krog.
