Lucki was appointed RCMP Commissioner in 2018 by the government of Justin Trudeau, following the retirement of Commissioner Bob Paulson.

On February 15, 2023, Lucki announced her retirement as a personal decision, effective March 17. On March 17, it was accounted that Michael Duheme would serve as interim commissioner until the appointment of a permanent successor.

2022 invocation of Emergencies Act

On May 11, 2022, Lucki stated under oath to the Special Joint Committee on the Declaration of Emergency (DECD) that "while her agency was consulted, it never requested nor recommended the [Emergencies Act]'s use." The Senate and the House of Commons agreed to strike this committee to investigate the events associated with invocation of the Emergencies Act in the wake of the 2022 Freedom Convoy to Parliament Hill.

Criticism

Lucki has been subject to a number of criticisms in her role as police commissioner.

Systemic racism in policing

In June 2020, Lucki was criticized for her explanation of systemic racism in the force, when she compared it to height. She later admitted she “struggled” with the concept of systemic racism, and dismissed allegations of the RCMP holding racial biases different from any other organization.

Lucki later commented that she better understood the concept of systemic racism and how it might exist within the RCMP.

Spying on climate activists

In January 2022, a Canadian federal court ruled Lucki breached duty by failing to respond to a watchdog report on the alleged spying on anti-oil protestors.

Alleged political interference in the Nova Scotia mass murder investigation

On June 21, 2022, the Halifax Examiner published an article alleging that—at the onset of the 2020 Nova Scotia mass murder investigation—Lucki promised Public Safety Minister Bill Blair and the Prime Minister’s Office to leverage the murders to get a gun control law passed. The article alleges that Lucki pressured the RCMP to release details of the murder weapons despite the insistence of RCMP commanders that releasing this information might jeopardize the investigation.
