Our aboriginal Regular Members have held a wide variety of positions across Canada. Hear directly from them about their career and experiences.
Why did you decide to join the RCMP?
“I grew up in Thunderchild First Nation, Saskatchewan and I am of Cree descent. 
Watching CBC's "North of 60" television show in the mid-90s is what inspired me to join the RCMP. In Grade 12, I participated in the RCMP Ride-along Program and attended a tour of the RCMP Training Academy in Regina, Saskatchewan. This led to me becoming a summer student with the RCMP at my local detachment in Turtleford, Saskatchewan in 1999. I joined the RCMP as a cadet in 2001.”
