It seems the RCMP understand that the character of too many Canadians who pursue policing are not honourable enough so they want to look elsewhere. The FBI can't follow this approach as the RCMP have a horrible reputation, among MANY agencies with bad reputations which they have earned. The FBI are trying to get RID of such individuals, not become more like other low brow agencies.

If one looks at the OPP, Toronto Police, Peel Region Police among some of the other violators of our Charter they would understand. From the chiefs on down these agencies have become one of the greatest national security threats in Canada and many American institutions understand this. America must NOT become like these criminals who have destroyed our best talent, sunk our reputation and economy. Protect your Constitution and don't capitulate to "allies" who do not share your values.



OTTAWA - The union representing front-line RCMP members wants the force to ease requirements for foreign applicants to help attract experienced police officers from agencies like the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation and counterparts in the United Kingdom and Australia.
The RCMP currently requires that applicants be Canadian citizens or have permanent resident status in Canada. Applicants with permanent resident status must have lived in Canada as a permanent resident for three of the last five years.

The National Police Federation says the RCMP should follow the lead of the Canadian Armed Forces, which in 2022 opened applications to permanent residents without any requirement on time spent in Canada.

Federation president Brian Sauvé said he’s “pretty sure we can attract some good talent” through a similar move by the RCMP.
Sauvé compares the idea to federal immigration programs that seek to entice skilled workers to come to Canada.
“If this government has identified public safety, border security and all that stuff as an imperative, we can do the same thing, right?” Sauvé said in a recent interview.
“We have equivalency training. You can come from Manchester, you can come from New South Wales, you can come from, I don’t know, the FBI. And we’ll train you to be equivalent, to give you a job and put you in a role.”

The proposal is one of several ideas the police federation presented in a June report aimed at improving the RCMP’s recruitment practices, funding model, training programs and procurement.

The federation says independent reports over the past two decades have offered the federal government clear guidance on how to improve RCMP operations in these areas.

I've always thought that Canadian law enforcement was more professional than many LEO's in the U.S. I guess that was based on not enough information.

Just out of curiosity, do Canadian Mounties learn to ride horses still?
 
Sounds like no one wants to work for those progressive politicians.
I would only trust them to throw cops under the bus at the first
sign of media attention.
