Regina Police Service sets target for female recruitment

Women are going to be front and centre in the Regina Police Service’s (RPS) future recruitment efforts.

The RPS has unveiled targets to increase not just women in uniform but in administration roles as well.

Called the 30 X 30 Initiative, it sets the goal of having 30 per cent of all sworn members be women by 2030. That doesn’t only mean officers, it would also include someone in 911 dispatch for example.

In 2021, 24.8 per cent of sworn positions were filled by women. Currently, 102 of the 433 police positions are women.

The 30 X 30 Initiative also ensures the RPS examine its practices and policies to determine if there are any barriers to women.
