The RCMP is once again looking for help when it comes to naming their newest recruits.
The RCMP’s “Name the Puppy” contest is back for another year, with 13 German Shepherd puppies in need of a name.
To enter the contest, you have to be 14 or under, and you can only submit one name. The names have to begin with the letter “M” and cannot be longer than nine letters and two syllables.
The only other contest rule is that you have to live in Canada.
The deadline to submit names is March 26th, and the winners will be announced on April 30th.
Those 13 children who are selected to name a puppy will each receive a laminated photo of the puppy they named, a plush dog named Justice and an RCMP baseball cap.
The winning names will be chosen by the staff of the Police Dog Service Training Centre, and those names not selected will be considered for other puppies born throughout the year.
You can enter online by clicking here, or you can send a letter to the address below. If you mail in a submission, you need to make sure you include the child’s name, address, phone number and suggested puppy name.

The RCMP adds that they encourage young people to get creative and submit a drawing or painting with their entry if they want to.
