What past graduates are saying

Applying to the Aboriginal (Indigenous) Pre-Cadet Training Program is the best choice I've ever made.

Nathaniel McAdam, Saskatchewan

I wasn't sure about a career with the RCMP. The Aboriginal (Indigenous) Pre-Cadet Training Program changed that for me. I loved every drill, fitness, and classroom session at Depot.

I'm excited to be able to one day become an RCMP officer and inspire more to join to show that we can make a difference in society.
