A submission from the lawyer representing two of the families most affected by the 2020 massacre: “We seriously question the RCMP’s traditional 6-month basic training model … followed by the six months on the job first posting as the ‘best model’ going forward.” #NPF @npffpn

People entering policing in Canada must finish three years of training and obtain a degree before becoming a full-fledged officer. That’s one of the recommendations from the @NSMassCasualty Commission's final report released last spring. #RCMP #Portapique saltwire.com/halifax/news/le…
