Women in the RCMP

Increasing female representation to 30% in the RCMP is a priority for us as we strive to reflect the vast communities we serve. To meet this goal, we're looking for enthusiastic, professional and dedicated women to fill our ranks.

Consider a policing career with the RCMP if you:

• Want to make a difference;
• Are fit and active;
• Are ready to take on challenges;
• Want to help people; and
• Want variety and a dynamic work environment.

Our female Regular Members have developed rewarding careers over the past 36 years. Learn about the milestones they have achieved and read about their personal experiences in the profession.

“The pioneering members of Troop 17 (1974) rewrote the role of women in policing. Since then, female Mounties have served in ranks from Constable to Commissioner. These women-and all female officers who have followed in their footsteps-deserve our gratitude and admiration.”

William Elliott, RCMP Commissioner
Pony Express, No. 4, 2009
