It has changed. It has improved, but the culture broke. I recorded it in the last chapter of my book. It's been identified as a broken culture right now, which it is, and that's for members—male and female.
It's a leadership deficit. They need an approach where there's accountability. There's been report after report from non-partisans under Conservatives and Liberals—“A Matter of Trust”, “Rebuilding the Trust”, “Conduct Becoming”, “Shattered Dreams”. It's very well known that there's a problem in the culture.
The answer is leadership and accountability. It's a matter of having a disciplined system. Work with the promotion system. Work with the education system for leadership. I can't think of the last time somebody got demoted or fired. We used to do that a long time ago. Nobody is forced to take a promotion and nobody is forced to be in a leadership position, so you have to be accountable when you're there. It's up to you.
There has to be some sort of organizational recognition that if this is happening, it's on the organization to protect the workers within that environment. They have to have some outside mechanisms. That's why our council has asked for an outside governance body. It's to make sure members have a place to go when they don't trust their own mechanisms within the force.
