Hi Steve! A Montreal Dad here! My son is currently at Depot, in his 19th week. I have talked to him about your channel and he told me that he has been following you for a couple of years now. He also told me last night that he met you a couple of times at Depot and that you go there often. His name is Kevin Robillard, a young man from Montreal, bilingual. He just got his posting this week...he's not happy about it, but he will do what needs to be done. He will be posted to Fort ST-James, on a 4 year contract. He has ALWAYS wanted to be a police officer, since he was at least 3 years old. He's almost there. Thank you for all you have done and are still doing to help these young kids. It means a lot to a father missing his son. Also, CONGRATULATIONS on your new posting. Good things finally come to those who deserve them.

It must be one of the best feeling to have your dad's farm where you grow up and than work there with your young children until they take over when the time comes. Farmers play such a big role, I thank you for your service and sacrifices.

Hello, If I am from Ontario Ottawa. Can I request to be posted in Ontario ? Or is there no contract policing in Ontario and only federal police? Also when you say I’ll know my posting during the process , do you mean during the application process before going to depot ? Thank you
@RealCopsReelLifeАй бұрын
Hey Ottawa! You can certainly request to be posted back to Ottawa… however, at this time, Ontario is “closed” for new recruits coming out of Depot. Unless…. You bring a particular skill set that is needed at the time they’ll lend to a specialized unit. (Financial, IT, Etc.) You’ll know which division during you application process (most applicants)

The whole problem is the evil concept of contract policing. The guarantee can't work because there will be to many people coming from the 2 large provinces, where there are no contracts. I'm from Alberta, which means that every time a mountie recruit comes here from Ontario and Quebec and Albertan looses a job.

Hi im 16 and i really want to be a rcmp officer,i just have a few doubts about,so what do we do if we don’t wanna move to a certain place?can we like request for it?and how often are the transfers and how do u manage to get transferred from one place to another especially if u have a family?and what would be like an approximate amount of pension u get if u worked for more than 30 years?
@RealCopsReelLifeАй бұрын
You’ll have a conversation with staffing. You can certainly request postings. The first posting following the Academy is different than your following posts. Basically, once in, you can discuss your career aspirations with career development unit. Some transfer frequently, while others only once or twice in their career. Depends what you want. Pensions are based on the members best five years the average. I can’t put a number on that.

@RealCopsReelLife3 ай бұрын
Hey Colton, Thanks for the question. So I’ll answer your question this way… many 19 year olds have made it to and through Depot. It’s less about the number (the age) but more about the experience you bring to the table. I definitely wouldn’t let that stop you from applying.

Website and I think it’s ironic / hilarious that I genuinely thought “agh I love Canada I could be posted anywhere!” And then looked up Grise Fiord and just laughed HAHA still into it but okay maybe should think about the saying - literally - ANYWHERE in Canada 🤣 I was thinking Vanderhoof BC or something lol
