Scott Blandford considered attending the RCMP Academy when he was looking to become a police officer about 40 years ago, but he soon realized the training centre in Regina wasn’t for him.
Blandford said he remembered the academy, also known as Depot, having a “militaristic” culture that he wanted to avoid.
While the college had some militaristic components, he said it didn’t appear to be as “in your face” as Depot. The report recommends RCMP phase out the Depot by 2032 for a new model that would see the establishment of three-year policing degree programs. “Too many aspects of the training at Depot reinforce an outdated traditional paramilitary culture,” stated report writers Chris Murphy, a retired sociology professor at Dalhousie University and University of King’s College, and Cal Corley, a former assistant commissioner of the RCMP.
“Strong writing skills come from university or post-secondary education. They don't come from police colleges. That's not a strong suit,” Blandford said.In the report, the commission cited findings from the November 2020 Broken Dreams Broken Lives report that analyzed the effects of sexual harassment on female Mounties.It also noted there had been “a significant amount of sexualized conduct, drinking and abusive relationships between instructors and cadets.
The force also said in 2020 it would review and modernize training over the long term, including an assessment of how “military aspects” of Depot affect the training environment, curriculum and organizational culture. Earlier this month, Saskatchewan legislators unanimously passed a motion to oppose the closure of Depot.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has acknowledged the training facility is important for the local economy but hasn’t made any commitments.
