The RCMP Core Values

The guiding principles of the RCMP are its core values: Act with integrity, Show respect, Demonstrate compassion, Take responsibility, Serve with excellence. As a cadet, the core values will be part of your first lessons at Depot and as a member, part of your everyday life in the field. These values are very important and cadets are evaluated on them. Any breach of these values may lead to a termination.
