Participation in Hiring Provincial RCMP Detachment Commanders

Whereas RCMP Detachment Commanders have direct influence and interaction with local governments in the detachments service area, but Indigenous and local governments are not included in the hiring process of RCMP Detachment Commanders; And whereas federal, provincial, and local governments have committed to adopt the UNDRIP mandate and work inclusively with Indigenous governments: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM work with the federal government to ensure that all levels of local government are at least consulted for input when hiring RCMP Detachment Commanders, and that Indigenous Communities should be availed the opportunity to have a representative at the table when the interview is occurring for provincial detachments.
