Pathetic! We can’t even maintain a national police force and we want to pretend about army, air force and navy?
Too busy turning down Canadian born applicants.
Well when you prioritize a gun grab of which many owners are RCMP you tend to kill morale.
The only I’ve never applied for the RCMP is because of their uncorrected vision requirements.
Is it true they don’t even do an aptitude test anymore. So it’s not even the best and brightest now… it’s whomever they can get. Explains why when my friend left her laptop bag (with macbook inside) in an uber and she was able to find it at house, parked in a garage. She got no help from Uber so called the RC’s. The cop that responded said he couldn’t knock on the door without grounds. Seriously? I thought the grounds only had to be reasonable… that’s why it’s called reasonable grounds? Pretty soon we will have to police ourselves. I drove there and we got the laptop back from the homeowners son. It was still in the backseat, not stolen, could have been solved very easily by the keystone RC.
Its the random location for your first posting that kills any desire to be an rcmp
I know a few ppl who were ready to go then they hand you national mobility paper work“ willingness to relocate“
Then its not so exciting
A friend of mine was sent to Fort Albany he lasted a year then became an electrician
Its not for everyone thats for sure
We don’t need more cops in our catch and release criminal justice system.
The reason there’s a „release“ aspect is because the courts are in crisis levels of full, similar to our ER wait times. Solve the courts, consider changes to bail, sentencing, and general criminal code to streamline.
I was shocked to learn that only a high-school education is required….
Wouldn’t have as much operational needs if we kept the criminals off the streets instead of letting them go to offend again immediately. Wasn’t it a few years ago in Vancouver where something like 40 individuals were arrested like 7000 times in one year? It’s not a police problem, it’s a judicial problem.
Its funny seeing everyone blame dei and gun grabs and other items when it seems more rooted in the fact it takes a fucking year to even get hired by the sounds of it.
It takes about a year to a year and half to get to depot depending on your province. I’m not surprised most people find other or better employment over that period of time of waiting or can get into a municipal force in a shorter time period.
Maybe their recruitment process shouldn’t take years and exclude white men?
They seem to have the man power to deal with the gun confiscation scheme.
Oh well, they’ll have to find efficiencies somewhere. The public service is too bloated as it is I’ve heard, we can’t hire more
I know some officers who work at the RCMP training Depot in Regina. There has been an influx of non citizen Permanent Residents who have been getting into the RCMP.
You can guess where these permanent residents are from but a big issue they are having is that these new RCMP members refuse to take orders from women as it is against their culture to do so. When the training officers brought this up to the higher ups they were basically told they can’t do anything about this because that is „their culture“.
I’m worried about the future officers that are going to be on our streets and how they will treat the public.
So many unemployed people who need to make ends meet. Give them a chance. Train ‘em and put em to work.
Their mentality of random placement as a form of paying one’s dues is the main culprit imo(big boomr energy) . Come work for us, put your life in danger, and also uproot your life and be assigned 2000km away form your entire family.
I got past the recruitment process and was assigned someone for the clearance/interview. This would be the person you are continuously in contact with and do extensively long interviews with.
They could hardly speak English. I’m not kidding. I spoke to them for about 10 minutes and half of that was spent saying ‚apologies, can you repeat, I didn’t understand what you said‘. I was flabbergasted someone was put in such a position, but could hardly speak the language of choice of the candidate.
The Royal Canadian Mashed Potatoes should have been disbanded after Portapique
Gary said the rcmp have the full strength to confiscate all the guns from law abiding gun owners. This is saying they are not at full strength….he wouldn’t lie wound he 🐿️
There is the country as it was when the RCMP was formed and the country as it is and the county is it will be. My position is the RCMP as it is now needs to be reconstituted or specialized federal agencies need to be created. I think if candidates could select the “stream” they want federal, investigative, tactical, First Nation etc. the agencies could attract talent more effectively. Not only that, if lets say National Security investigations gets 1000s of applicants, mangers could get pick of the litter or potentially crest an agency that doesn’t need to offer as robust compensation and benefits as remote community policing. The pie wouldn’t necessarily need to be larger but they can give larger slices to segments that really need it.
The pay isn’t great for the danger involved….Being sent alone to deal with violent offenders. Many officers I have known have been hurt on the job. Dealing with catch and release style policing thanks to our wonderful court system.
Being sent to rural ass posts where you’re not wanted. Limited options to stay in your home province. 6 months away from family at Depot….yeah the job isn’t appealing anymore.
6% application recruitment rate is brutal. What are these guys, doctors?
That’s fine by me. Usually, I would say they should raise their wages, but I think they are paid well enough and we have enough. Especially since we are on an austerity kick.
The amount of stigma attached to being a cop these days… I’m not surprised. Such a terrible public image.
