I wouldn't limit myself to the issue of diversity. The challenge we face—and are currently addressing—is really the journey, from start to finish, of someone who offers their services to the organization. In short, it comes down to that. It's about improving the entry point because we're losing too many people at depot. The attrition rate at depot varies between 15% and 20%.
Imagine the following: There's a capacity for 1,200 cadets to graduate in a year. If we take 15% to 20% of that away, that's money out the window because we didn't do a good job from the outset of identifying the right people, those we believe have the right skills and core values needed to become police officers.
