Europol 10/6/2025 Audio, Feature RCMP Facing the Future: Evolution, integration, readiness CANADA: The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is an internationally recognized Canadian institution. 15 years ago, six senators led by Senator Tommy Banks wrote Toward A Red Serge Revival, a position paper to help the RCMP to maintain and evolve its “vital role at the heart of Canadian policing.” They conducted their work to be transparent about the challenges facing the RCMP and keep the government and leadership accountable for the work required to achieve change. Today, the RCMP is facing increasingly complex challenges, though this paper will show that the issues identified by the senators in 2010 have largely remained as constant barriers. When combined with the need to continuously address reconciliation with First Nations, meet increased demands for federal policing to fight global crime, and the changing nature of frontline policing the RCMP requires the government’s full support to maintain and evolve its position as the cornerstone Canadian institution for public safety. On behalf of the membership of the RCMP, the National Police Federation would like to recognize the commitments made by governments, including recently by Prime Minister Carney, to support the RCMP at a critical point in Canada’s history when our public safety and national security are being threatened. The NPF proposes a vision in this paper to maximize those commitments and continue to work in partnership to make specific changes to meet today’s threats.

It aims to contribute to the research tradition that investigates the understandings of institutional racism and the racialisation of minorities by police. Adopting a mixed-methods approach, the article combines quantitative analysis from a survey conducted with police officers in three police districts in Finland and qualitative analysis of the responses to the open-ended survey questions. The article identifies three main orientations among the police: colour-blind universalism, inclusivity and anti-wokeness. While the police is divided between attitudes characterised by inclusivity and those of anti-wokeness, many officers adopt a colour-blind universalist orientation, supporting equality but lacking the ability or willingness to recognise structural racism. Despite these differences, police officers also commonly hold a set of views about minority communities, which we conceptualise as ‘racial undercurrents’. The article argues that while there is a struggle amongst police officers about (the implementation of) inclusivity and non-discrimination policies the shared racial undercurrents uphold the central parameters of the Finnish racial state. The findings also witness of efforts to address racism and develop non-discrimination work within police. The racial welfare state is characterised by two kinds of processes – those seeking to challenge existing racialising ideologies and structures and those reproducing (consciously or by following taken-for-granted notions and routines) the racial hierarchies of the society.

Drawing on routine activity theory, we examine how resident-to-visitor ratios influence crime rates after-work-hours. Using mobile phone tracking data and crime reports for aggravated assault, robbery, and motor vehicle theft, we apply multivariate clustering and negative binomial regression analyses. Findings show that increased after-hours visitor presence is significantly associated with higher crime rates for all offences, while greater resident presence correlates with reduced violent crime. Results highlight the need to consider population flows in crime prevention and urban planning strategies.
