The Commanding Officer of the RCMP in Newfoundland and Labrador is working to establish a diversity advisory committee. Assistant Commissioner Pat Cahill is seeking community-based volunteers to join him on the Commanding Officer's Diversity Advisory Committee (CODAC). Promoting and ensuring equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI) in the RCMP is important for both the employees and the communities we serve in and live in.
Our collective work on the committee will be guided by the goals of promoting fairness, increasing understanding, reducing barriers, and driving meaningful change.
The committee is being established to:
- Provide a safe space for members of the committee to discuss barriers and the impacts of implicit bias and discrimination.
- Engage and collaborate with external partners and subject matter experts who can assist in the achievement of these goals.
- Promote and support effective communication between diverse communities and the RCMP.
- Strengthen the understating of diverse groups and create stronger working relationships between the RCMP and our communities.
- Help identify learning opportunities for all.
If you have lived experience in diverse communities and would like to help drive meaningful change, please indicate your interest by Tuesday, October 8th in an email to BDiv_Community_Policing@rcmp-grc.gc.ca .
