Going into policing is my dream, the only thing holding me back is the hate I’d get by many for doing so, do you have any advice on how to push through that?
Hey, policing is certainly NOT an easy profession and can bring on the haters. That being said, it’s a noble career where I choose to focus on the good that I can do for others and carry myself to a high standard. The hate will come from many places… often places of jealousy, and from a place where others are unfulfilled with their own life. There are more for us than against us.
Hi Steve! A Montreal Dad here! My son is currently at Depot, in his 19th week. I have talked to him about your channel and he told me that he has been following you for a couple of years now. He also told me last night that he met you a couple of times at Depot and that you go there often. His name is Kevin Robillard, a young man from Montreal, bilingual. He just got his posting this week...he's not happy about it, but he will do what needs to be done. He will be posted to Fort ST-James, on a 4 year contract. He has ALWAYS wanted to be a police officer, since he was at least 3 years old. He's almost there. Thank you for all you have done and are still doing to help these young kids. It means a lot to a father missing his son. Also, CONGRATULATIONS on your new posting. Good things finally come to those who deserve them.
Thank you so much for this comment. Very meaningful! I know very well about the “not happy about posting” but… perspective goes a long way, and sometimes, what we don’t want is EXACTLY what we need. Thanks again for the encouragement 👊
Great question. I think one day provinces / regions will go with their own - or try to - but it’ll be interesting for very remote locations. If it happens, not likely with in my time.
I work in security and am thinking to get one, which would you recommend? Thinking Denali as it has the more squared front look... Is molle easier to use than the laser cut molle?
Hey man, did they remove the polygraph from the application stage?? I don’t see it on their website. I have to write the APCAT with grande prairie but the rcmp told me they’ll fast track me because I have multiple trade tickets. Have you heard anything about this?
The polygraph (PEP) stage is a case by case situation. As far as fast tracking you based on trade tickets..? I’ve never heard of this. Good luck with it all.
@@RealCopsReelLife No APCAT for me. They told me I don’t necessarily need to write it because of my education in the trades I guess. They consider me competent. Just as baffled as you. However, Grande Prairie requires me to write one.
I don’t want to assume… but the fact that you use these, does that mean these are approved to use with RCMP? Or does it vary from det to det or Div to Div?
So I mentioned in this video, that I do not currently use these. I use the issued carriers. It’s best to get the directive from the division / commander as to what kit is acceptable
Love your content, inspires me to do what you do!!
Thanks so much! Get after it👊
Great video Steve! Every time I’ve seen you at Depot I’ve been asking if you have dropped this video lol!
Thanks for watching my friend. Haha more videos to come

Nice informative video as usual from Unc Steve, quick question do you get a refund by your agency when buying your own external equipment's ?
Thanks for the encouragement.
Short answer is No. there MAY be commanders out there who will… I have heard of them, but not general practice
@@RealCopsReelLife Ohh ok
Thank you
Do you ever think the rcmp will be replaced by provincial police forces? I sure hope that doesn’t happen but you never know

Hey Steve, where can I find the RCMP policy on external carriers? I've been looking but no luck so far
OM under uniform / kit. Failing that, ask your supervisor to help you out

The Denali is a great carrier!!!! The quality of these vests are dope!
@@RealCopsReelLife Is it standard 3 or 4 rows of molle on the front?
Great video my friend
Merci mon Ami
@@RealCopsReelLife ces avec grand Plaisir! J’Adore ! Is two of your carriers ?
