If you’re considering a career with the RCMP or wish to know what is required to apply, attend their recruiting event.

It takes place at the TRCC gym on Friday, September 15th from 5 to 7 pm.

Constable Sandy Deibert encourages the public to take advantage of this information session and the opportunity to speak with officers.

“One of the RCMP’s main priorities right now is recruiting. At the local level here in Thompson, we decided that offering this opportunity for the public to come and see officers and speak with us about the force and the RCMP. Then, we’ll have an opportunity for anyone to apply online who is interested in that process.”  

Some requirements to become an officer include fluency in English or French, a clean driving record, having a Canadian high school diploma or equivalent, and being willing to relocate anywhere in Canada.
