Saskatchewan agrees to fund 250 RCMP positions on condition of successful recruitment.
Saskatchewan and the RCMP have agreed on a deal where the province will fund hundreds more officers if Mounties are successful in recruiting to fill those positions. The deal will be a game-changer for the understaffed force, with Saskatchewan's officers-per-capita ratio at its lowest point in decades. The province will pay for around 250 positions if the RCMP can recruit them, with $7.7 million earmarked for 50 officers in the first year.
