Behind the Badge: A Conversation with Sergeant Chris Voller of the NPF

This week on True North True Crime, we're stepping outside our usual format to offer a rare look behind the badge. Sergeant Chris Voller of the National Police Federation joins us for a candid conversation about the realities of frontline policing in 2025. Representing over 20,000 RCMP members across Canada, Chris sheds light on the challenges officers face—from under-resourcing and public perception to mental health and media narratives.

We explore the evolving demands of the job, the strain of working short-staffed, and the importance of context and balance in how cases—and officers—are portrayed in the media. Chris also shares his personal journey in policing, what led him to advocacy, and the work the NPF is doing to support those who protect Canadians.

It’s a nuanced, eye-opening discussion designed to help listeners understand the human side of policing.
