October 18, 2005 — The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is pleased to be recognized this year as one of the country’s top employers, as chosen by Mediacorp Canada Inc. for the 2006 edition of Canada’s Top 100 Employers. The RCMP is Canada’s national police, employing more than 25,000 people, including regular and civilian members, and public service employees, across Canada and abroad.

“The RCMP thrives through the excellence of its employees,” says Barbara George, RCMP’s Chief Human Resources Officer. “We are dedicated to fostering the development of our people, and we take pride in the diverse career opportunities that we offer. This award demonstrates our high level of commitment to attracting and retaining top talent in the law enforcement industry.”

The RCMP was one of over 1,200 Canadian employers that started the application process for the Canada’s Top 100 Employers competition for 2006. Mediacorp Canada Inc., publishers of the annual list, reviewed the recruitment histories of over 55,000 employers across Canada, and invited the RCMP to participate along with over 7,500 other employers, from which it was named to the Top 100.
