Jeff Morley was an RCMP officer but is now a psychologist and the founder of The Canadian Centre for Police and Emergency Services Resilience in British Columbia He says the list of officers committing suicide is growing too fast and the RCMP is not doing enough to prevent similar deaths. Although the RCMP introduced a mental health strategy earlier this year, focusing on awareness and stigma reduction, Morley worries its not enough. Huge gaps Theres no indication of what budgets going to go with that to make sure the goals are met. Theres no research being done, theres no program evaluations being done. So while it sounds good that this is what were focusing on, I think theres huge gaps, said Morley, who served as an RCMP officer for 23 years. cbc.ca/news/canada/new-brunswick/rcmp-with-ptsd-falling-through-the-cracks-says-advocate-1.2792495
