The result is a number of new recruits will NOT be going through Depot.

I work the front lines.   I see what happens when there are a lack of resources.

I have many RCMP friends. They are good people.  Great people.  They give everything they have to upholding the oath all of us wearing a law enforcement badge have sworn to.  They are people just like you and me – they believe in justice, honour, integrity, team.

The RCMP cannot afford to have their budget slashed.  The men and women of the Red Serge deserve better.  They need reinforcements.  Additional officers.  Additional resources.
