The RCMP are looking for a ‘few good women.’

About 20 per cent of the police force consists of women, including 4,000 female officers, but officials want to increase that to 30 per cent by the end of 2025.

The RCMP are holding a Women in Policing presentation in Calgary Monday night to talk about more than 150 different careers available.

A recruiting officer will be at the meeting to go through the process and answer any questions.

The session will be held at the RCMP Duncan Building on 8 Street NE at 6 p.m.
