As with officers who engaged in serious sexism or racism, the force’s entire leadership have been told to do better in the future

Gollschewski on Monday denied the allegations and said: “I have the utmost respect for all First Nations people and, in particular, every member of the First Nations reference group.” Carrington said on Monday she had told Ryan bluntly there was a need for cultural reform and more specialist resources, and that he was dismissive and rejected the need for reform.
