The Trudeau government has directed the new top Mountie to modernize and reform the RCMP香蕉视频直播檚 culture, protect employees from harassment and workplace violence, and foster reconciliation with Indigenous Peoples.

The government also wants Commissioner Brenda Lucki to make the national police force representative of Canada香蕉视频直播檚 diverse population by embracing gender parity and ensuring that women, Indigenous members and minority groups are better reflected in positions of leadership.

香蕉视频直播淚t is important that Canadians see themselves reflected in the people that police them,香蕉视频直播 says a newly released mandate letter to Lucki from Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale, the cabinet member responsible for the Mounties.

The letter says another priority will be implementing measures to improve health and wellness in the RCMP after an auditor香蕉视频直播檚 report found the force was failing to meet the mental-health needs of its members due to a lack of resources, poor monitoring and meagre support from supervisors.

Lucki, 53, took the reins of the storied police force on April 16, becoming the 24th RCMP commissioner and the first permanent female boss.

She inherits a force still grappling with ingrained problems of bullying and harassment.

A year and a half ago, her predecessor, Bob Paulson, delivered an apology to hundreds of current and former female officers and employees who were subjected to discrimination and harassment dating back as far as four decades.

The words of regret came as the force settled class-action lawsuits stemming from allegations that cast a dark pall over it.

Lucki is often asked if she香蕉视频直播檚 going to fix the problem, a question that makes her bristle because she doesn香蕉视频直播檛 think things are necessarily broken.

香蕉视频直播淧eople don香蕉视频直播檛 come to work and say they香蕉视频直播檙e going to bully somebody or harass somebody. It香蕉视频直播檚 not that black and white. So we have to figure out what the root causes are and try to get to that,香蕉视频直播 she said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

香蕉视频直播淚 need every employee in the RCMP to own that, and have the courage not only to be accountable for themselves, but to have the courage to be accountable to others, for others, and say, that香蕉视频直播檚 unacceptable and take a stand. Because otherwise we won香蕉视频直播檛 change.香蕉视频直播

Asked if she has personally experienced bullying or harassment, she answered obliquely.

香蕉视频直播淚 would be remiss if I didn香蕉视频直播檛 say that not everything has been perfect. But I think in general I香蕉视频直播檝e had a great career and I always say, whatever doesn香蕉视频直播檛 kill you makes you stronger,香蕉视频直播 she said.

香蕉视频直播淪o I think it helps me be a better leader and more empathetic. Of course, I香蕉视频直播檝e dealt with situations that weren香蕉视频直播檛 completely comfortable, but I香蕉视频直播檝e dealt with them.香蕉视频直播

At the same, Lucki stresses the importance of learning lessons from the force香蕉视频直播檚 experiences with harassment.

香蕉视频直播淲e won香蕉视频直播檛 eliminate it, but we do need to educate people on that and make sure they know what is acceptable and unacceptable.香蕉视频直播

A desire to serve the public drew Lucki to policing. Her RCMP career of almost 32 years has been varied and full of challenges, including time in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Lucki was applauded for her efforts in northern Manitoba to improve the force香蕉视频直播檚 relationship with Indigenous communities, where one of the elders took her under his wing.

香蕉视频直播淚 know that I learned a lot more than they learned from me.香蕉视频直播

Transparency, accountability and communicating clearly are the keys to building trust, she said. 香蕉视频直播漎ou can香蕉视频直播檛 build a relationship overnight. It takes time to trust, it takes time to build those relationships.香蕉视频直播

Lucki has also worked with the United Nations in the fractured former Yugoslavia, and helped train and select units for a UN police mission in Haiti.

Since October 2016, she has served in Regina as the commanding officer of 香蕉视频直播淒epot香蕉视频直播 Division, where cadets are put through their paces.

An avid golfer, she and her husband enjoy woodworking projects, though she once said they香蕉视频直播檙e mostly good at making sawdust.

Lucki holds a degree in psychology and sociology from the University of Alberta, and studied management and leadership at the University of Manitoba香蕉视频直播檚 business school 香蕉视频直播 an educational background that can only help her run a sprawling police force of 18,500 officers responsible for everything from traffic duty to investigating terrorism.

香蕉视频直播淚 want my employees to come to work every day and be proud of their organization,香蕉视频直播 she said, eyeing the RCMP香蕉视频直播檚 150th anniversary in 2023.

香蕉视频直播淲e need to honour our past. We can香蕉视频直播檛 live in it, but we need to honour it and learn from it and move forward. And I think if we do that, we香蕉视频直播檙e going to be a force to be reckoned with.香蕉视频直播
