OTTAWA, Nov. 19, 2018 /CNW/ - The Royal Canadian Mounted Police is committed to taking care of deployed Canadian police officers. Today, Commissioner Brenda Lucki announced that the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness, the Honourable Ralph Goodale, has designated 10 police peace and stabilization missions as Special Duty Operations (SDO).
Special Duty Operations status gives these Canadian police peacekeeping missions status comparable to military peace and stabilization missions, meaning police who have served on these missions may now be eligible for certain benefits, including appropriate health coverage.
When Canadian police officers began deploying to operations where the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) were not, the policy excluded them from benefits and coverage. With the Minister of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness designating missions as SDO, Canadian police officers can now have comparable status and benefits as CAF members while serving abroad.
