Equity is Everyone's Issue
A symptom of a lack of equity and inclusion in policing is the underrepresentation of diverse and varied groups.
In Canada, 50% of our population is female yet represented in only 21% of policing with only 15% of women in leadership roles. Underrepresentation is occurring despite women being in policing for over 100 years.
