Does the RCMP need a revamp?

Guest: Jeremy Nuttall, staff reporter

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) organization remains a symbol of Canadian history and national pride, even though the recent history of the police force is littered with internal scandals including racism in hiring and sexism within the ranks, in addition to heavy criticism for their handling of high profile crimes. Does the force need a revamp? A recent Star series looked at the force now and how it might need to adapt.

This episode was produced by Alexis Green, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.
