In her first public address since being named commanding officer of the B.C. RCMP, Brenda Butterworth-Carr mentioned diversity and inclusivity as two of the core values she intends to bring to the position. Butterworth-Carr is from the Tr'ondëk Hwëch'in Hän Nation in the Yukon and is the first Indigenous woman to hold the position. Her career with the RCMP started 30 years ago in a three-person detachment in her home territory. When asked about the sexual-harassment suits facing the RCMP, Butterworth-Carr said there is zero tolerance with the force for "any kind of inappropriate behaviours — sexual in nature or otherwise."
