So, what are y'all up to?

[CajoleJuice]

Alright, that's cool. Well, good luck with the rest of your training duder. I've got a buddy who's in U.S. Marshals training right now. The Mounties are pretty much the Canadian equivalent to that, right?

[Madrun Badrun]

You don't even get to choose which province you get posted too? That sucks.

Just like the U.S. Marshals.

Well, I'm not that familiar with the US Marshals, but not really.  The RCMP is basically the Canadian equivalent to the FBI (and the Secret Service, and the DEA, and....), but it is also contracted to act as the municipal and provincial police force in certain areas.  Basically, they are the federal, provincial, and municipal police all rolled into one.  We do everything.

You don't even get to choose which province you get posted too? That sucks.

They ask us our five top choices for which province we would like to go to, but don't guarantee that we'll be sent there.  Then, once our province is known, we get to request our top 15 detachments we would like to be sent to, but again, no guarantee as to being sent there.

You're going to be sent to northern Nunavut.

Unlikely.  It is said that you don't get sent up North unless you request it.

[brawndolicious]

it's still unclear what mounties do.  what kind of work do you expect/hope to get?

nothing has really happened here.  other than synbios pming about 20 people a picture of a celeb's small dick.

oh, nintenho.  Still as dense as ever.  Don't ever change.

The RCMP does:

General Policing
Marine Services
Crime Prevention
Federal Policing
Customs and Excise
Passport and Immigration
Commercial Crime
Drug Investigation
Foreign Missions
Protective Policing (ie. bodyguarding VIPs and Canadian officials)
Economic Crime
Counterfeiting Investigation
Diplomatic Protection
Emergency Response Team (RCMP version of SWAT)
Forensic Services
Traffic Law Enforcement
Airport Security
Aboriginal Policing


My own interest lies in doing any of the following:
Federal Policing
Protective Policing
Drug Section work
Organized Crime
Criminal Intelligence

But I may have to do a few years of General Duty policing first to get into those sections.

[brawndolicious]

ah, the first time you plant evidence think of me.

[Ichirou]

Can't wait till Boogie busts Father_Mike in about five years.

[Madrun Badrun]

I'll be out of his jurisdiction in five years!

[Ichirou]

Moving to Europe?

[Synbios459]

So Boogie, how many RCMP are there?

I'm kinda sicky and it's gross. I'm all stuffed up. My immune system SUCKS.

You know what doesn't suck though? Puffs Plus tissues.



I also read a funny anonymous/unknown quote today:
"A religious war is like children fighting over who has the strongest imaginary friend."

I lol'd.
