4 years ago, I decided to try out for the rcmp for shits and giggles. Passed everything and decided to pull out before going off to saskatchuwan for their training camp.
Their physical is pretty tough, it's an small obstacle course in a gym but doing it straight for 6 laps is quite demanding. I was in great shape going to the gym every 3 days and running 10km every morning in under 45 mins and found that test rough. With RCMP they can relocate you to anywhere in Canada, which is fine but if you have family in vancouver and get relocated to Yellowknife, it can be a game changer. I pulled out because I decided I won't be able to leave my work attitude at work and not bring it home. You've got to be somewhat of a hardass and prick to be a cop dealing with bad people everyday and I can't just drop that attitude and not have it affect my family and friends. If you're looking at the money to be a cop (which is very low considering you're putting your life on the line everyday) then you should not become a cop. Being a cop is about serving the people and you really have to have a passion about that and not the money.
