The Saskatchewan RCMP and the RCMP's Federal Policing Program based in Ontario are working together to provide prospective RCMP officers from Ontario a unique opportunity that gets them hands-on experience and sets them up for an interesting and exciting career!
How exactly does the agreement work?
New and prospective RCMP officers who have a desire to work in Central Region (the RCMP in Ontario) will have a three-year posting with the Saskatchewan RCMP to gain essential training and experience to thrive in their future role as an officer in the Federal Policing Program.
Upon completion of the new officer's three-year posting with the Saskatchewan RCMP, it is mutually agreed upon that the new member will have the opportunity to work in Central Region (Ontario), unless the participant wishes to remain in Saskatchewan or has expressed another career preference.
What're the perks?
Working with the Saskatchewan RCMP, new officers can expect a unique policing experience. The RCMP provides services to 99.9% of the geographic area of the province – so, as one can imagine, there's never a shortage of work! This means new officers will get the experience of a life-time. It's a challenge that comes with many benefits – learn fast, make money, take advantage of exciting training opportunities and enjoy the life that Saskatchewan offers!
In Saskatchewan, new officers can expect a low cost of living – it can be a great place to grow your savings or raise a family! It's also the ideal spot for outdoor enthusiasts. The province is home to more than 100,000 lakes, which means there's plenty of places to fish, go boating or have fun doing other water sports. The fun doesn't stop when summer's over here – the province boasts a wealth of year-round activities like cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, hiking, camping, hunting, biking, and much, much more!

Those who take part in this agreement will come out of their posting in Saskatchewan with knowledge and skills that new officers may not get in other jurisdictions. After three years, these officers are guaranteed the choice to go back to Ontario with a spot in the RCMP's Federal Policing Program – unless, of course, they wish to stay in Saskatchewan!
