We have a presence in communities, either at schools or community centres. Most RCMP detachments are located in rural or northern areas. In many communities, the RCMP is the only federal presence. Having a presence in a school or community centre, or even being active with seniors, can help develop a relationship based on respect. Women and girls, and people in general, can develop trust with the police officers working in their communities.
