How do you change the culture? From the top down. If we had a solicitor-general who was genuinely committed to police reform, he could appoint a RCMP commissioner who was genuinely committed to police reform, who could appoint division commanders genuinely committed to police reform, who could appoint detachment commanders genuinely committed to police reform, who could appoint watch commanders genuinely committed to police reform, who could reform the cops on the street.

Basic training also needs to be revised. The important missing lesson is this. The mission of the cops is to arrest law breakers. A person who breaks the law while wearing police uniform is still a law breaker, and needs to be arrested and prosecuted like any other law breaker.
