Earlier today, we met with the RCMP Deputy Commissioner and senior management regarding workforce adjustment discussions currently taking place within the RCMP.
You may be hearing conversations about attrition measures, the closing of vacant positions, and potential workforce adjustment notices. Those discussions are real and will affect certain areas within the RCMP.
What we were clearly advised today is that OCC Operators and Intercept Monitor Analysts are excluded from RCMP workforce adjustment measures.
This was stated directly to us at the senior management level.
We are also aware that workforce adjustment notices are expected to be issued later this month to other RCMP bargaining groups, with approximately 250–300 positions potentially impacted. That is significant, and we remain mindful that colleagues elsewhere in the organization may be facing uncertainty.
For our group, this exclusion reflects sustained advocacy around staffing shortages, operational risk, and the essential nature of Public Safety Communicators within the RCMP. Your work is critical, and that reality is being acknowledged.
We have a further meeting scheduled with the Commissioner later this month to continue discussions on broader matters affecting our group. We will continue to press forward on your behalf.
For now, please know that as of today’s meeting, our group is not subject to RCMP workforce adjustment measures.
We will provide further updates as appropriate.
