RCMP commissioner open to idea of integrated U.S.-Canada aerial border patrols

Commissioner of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Mike Duheme waits to appear before the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security (SECU) investigating the impacts of President-elect Donald Trumps's recent announcement on Canadian boarder security on Parliament Hill in Ottawa, on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024.

The head of the RCMP is open to the idea of an integrated cross-border aerial law enforcement program which could see U.S. officials helping to patrol the Canadian side of the border.
