Abstract
When I first assumed the role of overseeing the RCMP response to allegations of gender discrimination and harassment, I had no idea where the journey would take me. I never imagined that learning about the many unfortunate experiences of women who had been bullied, harassed and discriminated against would compel me to better understand what was actually happening below the surface. What I have learned through my interviews with serving and former police personnel, extensive research and working with police organizations, is that the issues extend beyond gender and cannot be fixed just by putting in place tough harassment policies and practices and increasing the numbers of women and minorities. The issues are much more deeply rooted.
