The RCMP has been dealing with allegations of sexual harassment since 2011.

Former media relations officer Corporal Catherine Galliford went public with claims of being repeatedly harassed.

Several other lawsuits have been filed.

The revised code of conduct would also include new expectations around the use of force and how to deal with the public.
