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.

I am lucky to work with an amazing team in the RCMP Open Govt Office, working to improve transparency in policing. Our efforts are continuous and iterative. We started with a strategy 1 year ago. You can find our progress here. open.canada.ca/data/en/datase… #OpenGovWeek2024

Now, more than ever, we need to double down on ensuring transparency, accountability and a trust in government, policing and public service. Help us get it right as we seek your feedback on our draft RCMP policy on transparency, and pilot a platform to better engage the public.

Transparency policy can set the stage & people/culture bring it to life. The RCMP’s Transparency Policy is another instrument in a toolkit where we are building for openness, trust, and public engagement. Part of ongoing RCMP commitments to improve transparency, responsibly.

As Canada wraps up the 2026 Data Privacy Week, I am incredibly proud of the work being done by the Privacy team at the RCMP. They are dedicated, passionate and experts in their field. I look forward to advancing Privacy services with them as they continue to raise the bar!
