RCMP Depot Profile (Part 3)

[danielroydrawe]

Proof that Canadian university graduates aren't any smarter than American university grads. Very disappointing to learn that the RCMP recruits so many morons.

[MendingMedia]

This is very unprofessional behavior. They make a joke out of everything.

[faithsSs55]

@MendingMedia Dude have you ever seen any other videos of DEPOT or spoken to anyone who has gone? It's like the military most of the time, its intense. I think a joke every now and then is okay. Dont take one clip and assume you know anything

[KevLancaster1]

A lot of the foot drill is very similar to the british army, as are the badges of rank. Also the RCMP are the only unit other than The Kings Troop Royal Horse Artillery, to have been trusted by The Household Cavalry, to mount the The Queens Life Guard in London while the cavalry's horses take a break for two weeks. Great documentary

[AlienVsPredatore]

I am going there this Monday it took me 2yrs to get where am now

am so excited REGINA here I come

[mikeweinmeyer]

@AlienVsPredatore So how was depot?

[zedio369]

Trrrrrrreeeee degrrrrrrrees arrrrrrre....

[416xplod]

wow only one person had just a high school diploma i guess my chances of getting in are pretty slim.

[Lestat57]

Wow, this shit's a cake walk compared to army training. Kinda nice how you're able to laugh during these drill without getting reamed out. Maybe it just depends on the instructors at Depot. I'm going for both Reg Force MP and RCMP right now...whichever one I manage to get into first!

[kdfnkdsds]

every part has parade when is there training going on just for 2 hr

[CourageInRed]

Updated version of DEPOT uploaded to the channel "CourageInRed". Also check out the other 13 episodes for the RCMP.

[Manyskins]

So, this is what I have to look forward to, huh? Well, doesn't look as bad as I feared- not easy but not Marine Corps Boot Camp.

[ruban90]

guy has a CD and still cant do drill

[GermanicPrussian]

is sociology a great path for RCMP

[cshort1993]

Can't wait till I'm there!!!

[bgboyboy]

@cshort1993 Hey, when you going to Depot? I head there in October.

[cshort1993]

@bgboyboy Haha I'm not goin there for like 3 years. I still have a year of highschool then I'm takin a 2 year criminology course at a university lol

[bgboyboy]

@cshort1993 Hey, well best of luck to you its gonna be an awesome career.

[cshort1993]

@bgboyboy ya good luck to you too!

[ehbra]

[cshort1993]

@ehbra ladysmith ( 2 hour ferry ride from vancouver)

[ehbra]

@cshort1993 cool

[sherwoodparking]

@bgboyboy

How did you find the RPAT test?

[Jsouthwell2006]

do you have to be good at math to be a police officer? cus by this video it seems like you should be good at math and i suck at math

[hotguytay11]

Ha ha ha lol I loved it where the cpl. Was yelling at them for the steps and I think he's Now the sgt maj on base I'm not 100% most likely because my brother graded there in january of 2010 and the RCMP is my dream job can't wait till I go

[edwarddewijn25]

great video, good to get an idea of what it will be like if you go there

[doubleestark]

What just grade 12! I think they all should have at least a Bachelor's Degree to become a RCMP, since it is well paying $89,000 a year after 4 years. There are too many BA's working at Starbucks at $9.50 a hour, and they ought to make a university degree the number 1 priority.

[sicksonethree]

Just because you didn't go to university doesn't mean you SHOULDN'T make good many. Grade 12 is a minimum requirement but alot have a diploma and some do have degrees. Also some come from military backgrounds. Just because you may or may not have post secondary doesn't mean you dont deserve to make good money. For those university students who work at starbucks maybe they should study for a degree/ job thats more in demand or actually get a job in their field!!

[chrisperdicaro]

@sicksonethree You want to see the value of an education and the benefits it has especially to women? Cpl. Annie Linteau is a stellar example. She is not some humble "country bumpkin"" type that looks like they recruited from some crafts and bake sale from some little hamlet in rural Alberta. Check out her profile. As a civilian, I would trust her judgement and direction 100%. She graduated with distinction in the social sciences. The old guys on the force are great,also.They have the experience

[pcmr57]

There is a difference between education and intelligence.

People investing in education should put serious thought into their future. Many don't. They simply take Arts for the sake of getting a degree that they hope will magically provide them with a well paying job - and then blame the world when they're unemployed and have a mountain of debt.

Many people without degrees make more that their educated counterparts. Just because they're not educated doesn't mean they're not intelligent.

[chrisperdicaro]

@pcmr57 Have you ever studied the statistics on income comparing those who have a post-secondary degree compared to those who do not? Yes, we all have heard the 21 year olds gripe about not getting a job making 100k a year after they graduate from university. I would not measure the value of an education on a few kids who still need to experience life. Also, extensive writing trains the mind how to measure, analyze and compare data. The training to look for the objective and not the subjective.

[chrisperdicaro]

@pcmr57 In addition to my earlier comments, one quality that is most important, regardless of educational background is that the new member has to always want to be better by continually searching for methods to refine their skill and aptitude as a member. It is not something that finishes at depot, but it is a continual process throughout their career. It is these types of individuals that need to be recruited and inspired to remain on the force once they have a few years underneath their belt.

[halflife103]

if i had a chance of being shot by pissants who call me a pig i would want to be paid more than 60k

[doubleestark]

Working as a Starbucks barrista is just as hard work and dangerous. You can get robbed at the till with more money coming in than your local Vancity credit Union.

[halflife103]

not around here it is not, we actually have police officers whom we respect. they are only doing good jobs because we don't treat them like shit.

i do see what you are saying though.

[zrett7t]

learn to taser people and become a well paid thug in the process..... Join now!

[hotguytay11]

lol the guy up to hte crpl troop 18 that was my bros troop of 09- 10

[hotguytay11]

WOW THIS IS OLD

[p9i7]

learn french during the pause?

[folsom90]

Reminds me of Cadets!

[sylvainh2o]

Yeah reminds me of my basic training in the canadian forces and that cadet in charge of the troop that day dont know how to drill! lol

[AreUBlem]

do u still have to march in opp cuz i really think all that stuff is a freckin joke and i would probably be laughing my ass off when doin it

[gard751]

Yes they do. And no, it's far from being a joke. It serves a purpose.

[npage009]

There were only a few senior advising officers sent to Iraq. Do some research.

[DaMounty]

Whats with all the marching? Do these guys think they are in the military? Let see them serve in Iraq for a few years. Most of them wouldnt cut it in the military for a day.

[OrleansBlues]

actually, yes they are paramillitary, and many are in iraq and afganistan as well as other countries. get your facts straight beofre bashing people that are in iraq dieing for you buddy..

[ournationsanswer]

@OrleansBlues No rcmp has ever touched ground in Iraq. Only canadians ever used in Iraq was JTF2 for about one month during the initial invasion.

[makc]

@OrleansBlues they are in Afghanistan and Iraq: true. Although they are are not and never will be attached to combat units. They are training local police forces in secured and stable areas. so saying they are dying for the country abroad is in my honest opinion stretching it. Lets leave that to the men and women of the canadian forces. They are paramilitary in training but they dont remain this way out of depot.. in function they operate and administrer as any modern police force. Go RCMP. 

[JohnMuise]

@OrleansBlues Every soldier that dies over seas today dies in vain. They are dieing for nothing.

[MendingMedia]

@OrleansBlues Thats what they said about Vietnam.People are in Iraq dying for Israel. Not America.

[rezmomma]

OMG that's Desfossier. He was my Drill Cpl.

[Phoenixweathers54]

he's the SM now

[yioming]

lol run away! *Squeak squeak squeak*

[Futil3]

Why are they all giggling?!

[JohnMuise]

Its like the military but funnier.

[Futil3]

hehe, funnier?

[JohnMuise]

I remember the days when I had to count out everything while doing drill, lol

[bluecat1203]

... Tim Shields is here??

[blackhawk777]

hehe squeaky shoes...and i noticed some of them weren't wearing uniform shoes...looks like running shoes they were wearing.

[TashaRules]

They have to earn their parade boots, so they still wear their runners for drill.

[ufcsucks47]

HAHAHA the corporal looked like a nazi lol.

[sylvainh2o]

Looool

[HELLENICFRONT]

I believe the point of the joke was to illicit the response we saw from the cadets. Even in the military sometimes instructors make fun of what a solider may say or do in order to have them realize that what they say or did was incorrect and to learn from that error. It is a style of training and instructing that is widely used. It goes hand in hand with the old adage sometimes its better to use a carrot and not the stick.

[Zeerotoo]

Why the heck are all the Cadets laughing like clowns when the Corporal makes referrence to certain cadets and when another cadet makes an error in their math. Where the heck is their bearing and their mark Cut out the laughing and get serious. You are about to be an RCMP Officer. Smarten UP!!!

[hummer11112222]

You fucking idiot. Do you think that Corporal make the corn flakes joke not expecting a laugh out of the troop? I'd rather have an officer help me that has a humorous side than one that acts like a robot. Cheer the fuck up and enjoy a laugh once and a while! It won't make you THAT incompetent.

[Zeerotoo]

DOesn't matter you would prefer. Its a serious profession, so the training, especially drill and deportment should be taken and instructed seriously. It creates a Military bearing and a stronger command presence on the street. Joking around only difuses that bearing and makes a bunch of clowns even more so. I cheer up and laugh when I'm off duty, the right time to relax.

[hummer11112222]

Ok Man, listen, I don't know what you do and don't really care. I am in the army, and one of many things I've learned is that comradery is vital. Laughing at ones math mistake will not create incompetent police officers. I agree the training is important, but why would a few laughes make a cadet a clown? Think about it. The rest of the time they're focused on their training.

[spencerwicks101]

Well Zeerotoo you can have a little shitfit all you wan't, but i you know anything about the RCMP you would know that they are para-military, not military so calm down and only comment on things that you are knowledgable about .

[HELLENICFRONT]

I agree with you and disagree in a way. Yes the RCMP is not military however, the methods they use to train emmulate a military style culture and in many ways is structed as such. However, even in the military while instructors bust someones ass and make a joke they do not chop off the cadets/recruits nuts for laughing. Obviously if the lauging is out of line and directed at something that is otherwise not funny then they shouldnt be laughing but a pun here and there does not hurt.

[bman231]

You have to learn to laugh at yourself ok its what makes a good leader having courage in yourself and not get embarrassed but stand up and answer a question and be heard in the RCMP I think you would get away with this mabey..mabey depend on the person but if you are training to follow orders instead of abide by your own judgement like in the army you have to follow those orders mindlessly ok you see big difference from army and RCMP.

[macmillantheman]

You're Fuckin' Right Man This Guy's not here to become your best friend actually you gotta be Way serious !!

[00Erin7]

My brother is at the depot right now...and I can't imagine his doing this! I sure know I couldn't!

[NeoFalcon69]

That is one guy I would never want to piss off LOL.

[franck575]

et si je suis francais comment je fais pour me débrouiller ?

[alexvpaq]

Si je me rappel bien il y a une partie française à Depot. Et au pire cherche sur le site de la GRC tu devrais trouver en masse d'information en cherchant.

Au plaisir de peut-être t'avoir aidé =D

[phildep893]

il faut que tu parles anglais aussi.

[goleafs87]

pas vrais, l'anglais OU le francais est necessaire! :)

[mitsosfantasia]

the march is amazing. love the arms up!

[paracha1]

Guys, I need some information I'm currently in high school and I'm going to finish it next year. The problem is that I dont know how to apply for RCMP and I also dont know what the process is for hiring. If any of you guys could answer me: How is the interview like? How is the training? How are the exams? any information would be really appreciated and I really want to join RCMP thanx alot everyone.

[fear614]

I'm also in High School, however I've spent 2-3 years reading up on the RCMP's process and I'm also an active member of multiple RCMP/Canadian police forums and communities.

It really isn't hard to find this information. Check out the RCMP's site, everything you need is there.

[bman231]

nice well join then after high school when you are in the depot they have spent over 60000 dollars on you and your gonna be damned if they let you fail depot they goin to drag you through depot untill you graduate for example you fail the weapons training they will one on one tutor you untill you have the skill set of shooting needed to graduate.

[Gsgtopp]

Just come down to Queen's Park Matthew. Your job is waiting for you. Come and meet the boys.

[djfpapetti]

Glock 22 is better. It's the most reliable out there.

[ericssson]

smith and wesson 9mm handgun IS CRAPPY

[marcustroud99]

wut year was this shown on tv?

[TashaRules]

this was probably shown either in 2006 or 2007 but it is probably an old re-run episode judging by some comments probably in the early 90's

[krustygsh]

it would have been filmed near or around 95 thats when the rcmp switched from the crappy 38 special revolver to the smith and wesson 9mm handgun

[kim557]

man that's awesome.. Tim Shields.. one of the most recognized names I can remember in BC

[cormus1]
