The RCMP is planning to pilot a new recruitment program that will allow some fresh hires to bypass the usual training at the Regina Depot and skip service in a detachment, instead going directly to federal police work in Ottawa.
The Federal Policing Recruit Development Program (FPRDP) is “designed to facilitate direct entry into Federal Policing for new recruits,” Mark Flynn, deputy commissioner of federal policing for the RCMP, told The Epoch Times by email on Aug. 31.
