Help Needed: RCMP Staffing Shortage in Saskatchewan and Manitoba

Hey there, young readers! Have you heard about the RCMP staffing shortage in Saskatchewan and Manitoba? It’s causing quite a stir in the police force, and they need our help to deal with it.

The Problem

For the past two years, there has been a major change in how the National Police Service assigns cadets to different locations. Instead of being assigned to specific places, members now get to choose where they want to be posted. While some divisions did well under this new system, others, like Saskatchewan and Manitoba, struggled.

Traditionally, these provinces have been able to supplement their staff with members from outside the province. But with fewer people choosing to come here, they have seen a decline in the number of cadets they receive.

The Impact

To make matters worse, both Saskatchewan and Manitoba saw a record number of homicides last year. In Saskatchewan alone, Mounties investigated 38 homicides with 40 victims – a nearly 30% increase from the previous year. This surge in violent crime has put a strain on the already understaffed police force.
