I am incredibly proud of our small and mighty team that worked on putting this RCMP transparency strategy and action plan together. We have a lot of work to do, the support of senior leaders to do it and the passionate and brilliant folks to succeed. Let’s do this!!

Call to action! We want to hear from folks on what data and information would be valuable to them. On top of building a strong foundation and culture to enhance transparency, our strategy aims to increase the release of high value data & information to the public.

We are pleased to announce that our fraud reporting datasets are now live on the Open Government Portal. These datasets mark the first @RCMPGRCPolice contribution to the Portal and will be updated quarterly. Read more: rcmp-grc.gc.ca/en/news/2023/c…
