On Thursday, RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki announced she is retiring after almost five tumultuous years at the helm of Canada's national police force. When asked what he's looking for in a replacement, Mendicino said there is a "wide range of priorities." "Someone who will possess the experience, the skills, the qualifications, the values that are very much in alignment with the government, the mandate which is set out," he told reporters Thursday on Parliament Hill. "But the key thing will be to make sure that we attract the very best and brightest person who is going to be able to meet the RCMP where they're at and take it to even newer heights."

How do they assess the dangerousness of the coronavirus as well as the handling of the pandemic by society and the media? What are their opinions on the measures to contain the pandemic – personally as well as concerning their official duties? And how does all this affect their level of mental stress? These questions are answered based on original data from a standardized survey among employees of the police in the German state of Saxony carried out between October and November 2020. The results indicate that the diversity of opinion among Saxon police employees essentially reflects the spectrum of views that was also evident in Saxony and the German public during the survey period. At the same time, police-specific peculiarities are apparent. Furthermore, the attitudes and perspectives towards the pandemic form consistent attitudinal patterns. Using cluster analysis, three different attitudinal types were found in the Saxon police: concerned interventionists, unconcerned sceptics, and hesitant conformists. These attitudinal types show consistent patterns of attitudes and perspectives on the pandemic. They also report different levels of mental stress in the performance of their duties. The results contribute to a deeper understanding of the police force under the conditions of crisis and polarization. Furthermore, they have implications for leadership communication and organizational cultures in a democratic police force.
