Canada Probes Mounties Training Harshness Criticism Grows
In Regina the federal government reviews the Royal Canadian Mounted Police amid criticisms that training and discipline are too harsh and militaristic. Critics note low recruit pay around 14000 dollars and intrusions into officers private lives while the RCMP expands to about 15000 personnel. Officials at the Saskatchewan training center defend changes and point to modernization, though ceremonial traditions remain. Superintendent W F McRae counters that public reaction stems from the visual military image.
