The RCMP makes every effort to ensure the data included in this report is complete, accurate and up-to-date. Amendments are made as new information becomes available.
The following charts show the current representation rates of employment equity (EE) groups as of April 1st, 2020, for all categories of employees in the RCMP, within each sworn officer rank, and among RCMP Regular Member applicants. Historical representation rates are also provided to show yearly progression for the past ten years across all categories of employees.
Under the Employment Equity Act (EEA), federally regulated employers are required to survey their workforces to determine the number of individuals who are members of designated EE groups; namely, women, members of visible minorities, Indigenous peoples and persons with disabilities. Self-identification is voluntary on the part of the employee. Employees may identify to more than one group or choose not to identify at all, and must be provided with a means of modifying or removing their self-identification information at any time.

Note
In April 2020, the RCMP temporarily removed the application poster on jobs.gc.ca, recognizing that candidates would be unable to complete the vision and hearing exams needed to apply due to service closures across the country during the COVID-19 pandemic.
