CBC Archives: RCMP in Training, 50s style, 1958 | CBC
/ cbctv
I was there in 1958. Best 9 months of my life.
My dad was born two years after this is absolutely NUTS
My Dad trained in Ottawa in 1958. He won the ‘golden glove’ boxing trophy. Remained a member for over 37 years. I was wondering if the water scenes were filmed at the RCMP long island camp in south Ottawa or somewhere else, near Depot?
I believe this video was done at the Ottawa Training location (N Division), with the water scenes filmed at the RCMP Long Island camp which is in south Ottawa to this day. As a kid, I went to the camp a handful of times. My Dad trained in Ottawa in 1958 and remained a member for nearly 4 decades. I don’t recognize him in the footage so perhaps this was a class before or after his own. Neat to see this, thanks for posting.
This is when the RCMP was actually respected!
lots of this small snipped of training would be well learned still in today's rcmp curriculum! I am not sure if they still practice in an actual lake, but being in the exact atmosphere and setting an event might take place sharpens the mind and makes you less afraid if/when it actually does occur.
As someone who can barely swim I very much respect anyone who is good at it, especially in dark and murky water.
This is soo cool, I'm wondering if the training of the 50"s would be good enough for today's world.
It was the year I was born :)
Make Canada great again.
No
That was a different ear then today this training was good for back in that days. Really interesting video.
what a nice video
With the end of the war, the Force commenced a major recruiting drive. At the time, the qualifications to join the RCMP were as follows:
- British or Canadian subject;
- history of good conduct and no criminal past;
- only single individuals would be accepted;
- good physical condition;
- age between 18 and 30 years;
- reached at least Grade 8 in school;
- at least five feet eight inches tall; and
- weight between 165 to 21o pounds.
@rupin In all fairness, the documentary was typical of the production style of the time. Very interesting to watch for historic reasons, though. (Note the absence of women at the RCMP at the time - it did not start recruiting women until 1974.)
I go back even farther than any of the above have been alive the late 40's and training in Depot was no rest and recreation
Spa. Equitation (3 mos) was designed to find out what you were made of. If you were afraid of a horse or falling off a horse you wouldn't be a guy I'd want watching my back in a tough spot. Those of the laughing jerks above probably would fit in that category.
How about now? How they do their training??
Cool
Very cool!
lol this is like the paul gross version of the mounty
@ericssson I'm a girl. Why shouldn't I become a cop if I were 20 years younger and slightly fitter physically? (Not that I'm overweight; I just have asthma, migraines, frequent earaches that make air travel uncomfortable, and could be considered a midget by old RCMP standards - at five feet, six inches.)
Wow, you sure can tell it's a very old film footage here --- ALL the guys are white!
Interesting clip from the good old days.
cheeriosinabowl It's in back and white 0_o some of those guys could be native
That revolver disarming exercise would be comical, if it weren't so sad. The last thing you'd do is raise your hands away from a gun shoved in your guts. Grab the damn thing while turning out of the line of fire.
That't what they do. They push the gun aside while turning out of the line of fire. The hands-up position is just assuming the starting position, it's not part of the maneuver.
@markojameow You're right
@ShrimpComedy They did in the past.
haha..............whenever i watch old archive footage the people in the footage always seem way too happy.
It's raining men!!!!!
Ahh back before the Karen’s and ms Nancy’s took over...
Where was this?
Regina, SK
If the RCMP recruited 6 ft men they wouldn't have a need for tasers
wrong its 5'2 across the board now
Hahahaha they sure dont make em like that anymore! 4ft tall and totally dependent on the taser and back up! Go back to the people with life experiance and that can handle themselves in the middle of nowhere!
the old days 6 feet + 200 pounds was perfect cop
"so called security of a handgun".....sure ok....I think I will take the handgun.
Whatever happened ??? now they got tasers...star wars here we come..
The training has not changed much since then.
@imaginetheresno Disney no longer holds the right to the RCMP image, it's now an organization for the RCMP families fund that owns the image, all payments go to them and the money is used for things like funerals and donations to fallen members families and such.
Are we allowed to show this imagine of the RCMP? Did DISNEY say it was OK? Damn the canuck that sold the rights to them! :P
The RCMP has no height restriction. I am 4'9 and would like to join and there are a few officers I've talked to who say they've met shorter.
You can not operate a motor vehicle below 4”8’ so I doubt it.
kilo that's not true ... I had a midget science teacher that was 3ft and he drove his truck to work everyday
The pt training is still shit.
I saw some videos of todays training. Doesn't look like its evolved a bit
Cute gymnastics! Nice bounce in their steps. Shame that the paradise propaganda doesn't keep the bad guys from getting worse and the good guys from sometimes turning bad behind the badge.
That may be of importance to you but the fact that racism existed, no matter where is still the issue.
What does racism have to do with this
Didn’t know the father’s of genocide knew Jazzercise.
RCMP never commited genocide, that's a completely made up thing the news love to ramble on about but if you actually look at the facts you'll see there was no genocide.
@@thehistoadian must have been the social workers that stole children from families to give to the Catholic Church.. oh great Histoadian, keeper of the knowledge. There's a bunch of play dough that has infected your memory but the pension cheque still keeps feeding your low electrical vibrational energy. Send the man some gravy!
