RCMP avoids cuts to key services due to funding shifts
The RCMP says it will avoid cuts to vital police services for now thanks to revised provincial funding, tech gains, and internal streamlining. Previously $32.5 million of national services funding was being diverted to cover shortfalls, risking DNA analysis, fingerprinting, and criminal intelligence cuts. RCMP officials say they are close to closing the identified funding gap and have not yet reduced services.
