The Royal Canadian Mounted Police will be looking for a new leader.
After 39 years as a Mountie, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson is stepping down to focus more on his family.
In announcing his retirement, Paulson cited numerous challenges facing the national police force including historical yet persistent harassment claims, restoring the mental and emotional well-being of members and improving the workplace.
The outgoing commissioner also cited next month’s court case in Moncton in which the RCMP are facing labour code charges stemming from the June 2014 murder of three members.
Paulson’s last day at work will be June 30th.
