The RCMP mission, vision and values, as presented in this publi-cation demonstrate the collective vision of our future direction as Canada's national police service. Where we go from here - and how we plan to get there - will involve all employees at every level of the organization.

The RCMP Core Values
— Final Definitions—

Accountability: There are two components of accountability. The first is the process of rendering an account to those from whom we derive our authority of what we did, why we did it, how we did it and what we are doing to improve performance or results. An important element of this component is accepting the personal consequences of our actions. The second component of accountability is one of answerability — the obligation to provide information to others in our communities of interest with respect to our decisions, actions and results in light of clear, previously agreed upon understandings and expectations. For example, we inform our communities about our actions, but we must render account of our actions to our direct supervisors. In this organization authorities can be delegated, but accountability cannot.
 
Respect: is the objective, unbiased consideration and regard for the rights, values, beliefs and property of all people.
 
Professionalism: is having a conscientious awareness of our role, image, skills and knowledge in our commitment to quality client oriented service.
 
Honesty: is being truthful in character and behaviour.
 
Compassion: is demonstrating care and sensitivity in word and action.
 
Integrity: is acting consistently with our other core values.
