Michael Duheme has been officially sworn in as the new commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). In his speech at the ceremony, Duheme said he wants to drive "change and growth" in the national police service, with his first priority being recruitment to grow the number of Mounties. The Rcmp has come under fire over the scope of its mandate, its culture and questions about its competence. Duheme takes over from Brenda Lucki, who retired earlier this year.
