50th anniversary of women police officers in the RCMP: Celebrating women in the RCMP

Women have made significant contributions to the RCMP throughout our history. Their ongoing hard work, commitment, and accomplishments have help shape the organization and make us who we are today. In 2024, we’re celebrating 50 years since Troop 17 became the first group of women to take the oath to become regular members of the RCMP and begin their training at Depot, the RCMP’s training academy in Regina, Saskatchewan. Their perseverance and dedication in serving communities across Canada fundamentally changed our organization forever.
