Nova Scotia implementing 6 ‘foundational’ changes to policing

  • On June 25, 2025, Nova Scotia’s Justice Minister Becky Druhan revealed a set of six initiatives designed to enhance policing across the province, following a thorough review of law enforcement services.
  • The review, launched in September 2023 after the Mass Casualty Commission's final report, addressed critical failures by the RCMP during the April 2020 shooting rampage that killed 22 people.
  • The reforms involve consolidating existing police records into one database, forming boards to enhance community oversight of policing, increasing police staffing levels, and implementing a revised billing approach for municipal police forces.
  • Druhan explained that municipalities can retain their local police departments if they comply with provincial standards, noting that the government included an option for communities that prefer the province to fund only the provincial policing service.
  • These changes represent a significant move to enhance public safety and ensure fair policing, with an evaluation process in place to verify that municipal police departments comply with the updated provincial criteria before the RCMP contract ends in 2032.
