Thinking about joining the RCMP, popo Options

[Rayme]

... The Royal Canadian Mounted Police. For the past..oooh I'd say 6-8 months I've been actively seeking a new career and I'm pretty much sold now on joining the police, it's something I thought before but never really seriously considered it until now. I'm a graphic designer now and I must say this ain't something I want to do until I'm 55, I hate it now I can't stand standing in front of computer for hours and bending over for client's needs isn't rewarding at all.

Anybody has inputs, or somebody they know in the police force? Or thought about joining the badge? I know some of you guys have no respect for them, shut it please. Its not all police officer's who's patroling the roads.

The new/more casual RCMP uniforms look like this...

with navy pants and a gold stripe down them. The red tunics are ment for special ocations or if your part of the musical ride. And yea, some officers ride horses, but like Azain_Advances said, when doing municipal work.

An example of a officer wearing the tunic as an MP at parlament in Ottawa.


The RCMP is pretty much a mix of for the guys in the US, FBI, state troopers, and municipal police. They do policing on a municipal, provincial and federal level. In every province except for Ontario and Quebec, they are used as Provincial Police. Ontario and Quebec have their own provincial police.


And Galcobar you are right about the deatchments. Surrey is the largest detachment in the country fallowed closely by Absotsford i think. But most of the big ones are in the lower mainland.
