McCue and Lagman both report

The service has a female deputy
chief, Cecile Hammond, and
promotes the hiring and advancement of women. It also hosts
regular women’s recruiting events
and preparatory fitness boot
camps for aspiring recruits.
Lagman, an immigrant to
Canada from the Philippines,
notes that diversity, equity and
inclusion drive how YRP treats its
members as well as the communities it serves. “We celebrate
things like Asian Heritage Month,
Black History Month and National
Indigenous History Month,
and we support the LGBTQ+
community and religious diversity.
This is another thing that makes
me thankful to be part of York
Regional Police.”
