"Canada is like a nice apartment above a meth lab" - Robin Williams.
The man did know what he was talking about, eh? :-)
Where is he now?
He doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Fun fact about the RCMP fitness test. The time they give you to complete the test isn't just a random number. The RCMP gave prisoners the same test, then calculations the average time inmates took to complete. If you complete the test with 4min & 30 seconds you're in better shape than 50% of inmates.
They rejected me at first sight. I looked about 13 but was actually 17 years old and 59 inches tall. By the next summer I was 6 foot 4 inches tall and knew better than to join anything.
I never knew this. And it makes perfect sence. But I’d prefer if the standard was closer to the fitter side of the range than to be right down the middle. Maybe like 3/4 of the inmates as a whole. So instead of calculating it by total time of all inmates/ number of inmates, it shud be: average time taken of those fitter than the average time taken of all inmates. So in other words doing the average twice, once with all inmates included and a 2nd time only including those fitter than the average.
That’s wat I think shudbe a better standard if u ask me.
Hard to compare RCMP with regular police. RCMP officers are federal and often alone serving rural communities with no backup.
While that is partly true, quite a number of RCMP officers work under what is called Contract Policing. Meaning smaller towns, like mine, will use the RCMP as our local police force, with all of the surrounding small towns doing the same. This kind of policing is very prevalent in Western Canada, where most of our settlements don’t bother having their own police force unless they’re a City like Victoria or Vancouver.
@@coledevlin3984 It varies in the Vancouver suburbs; some are RCMP precincts and some are city police.
I think Vancouver managed to push cannabis legality because the VPD and City Council reached the same conclusion - cannabis use isn't a problem. And we're in the forefront of decriminalizing heroin addiction.
@@coledevlin3984 totally true, we are the only town in our region with our own city police department here in Nelson and we only have a population of 10,000 ish. Even Kelowna doesn't have their own city police.
@@michaeldowson6988 I had moved from Vancouver to Victoria the year before Insite opened, and when I next visited and went to Chinatown and further up Pender the difference was amazing to me. I had worked a few years before at Harbour Centre and into Gastown so I was often on the Eastside of downtown, it really shows and has helped so many people, in my opinion!
And they have horses 😃
I live in Quebec, Canada and to be a cop you need an high school degree, a college degree (3 years) and then go to the police academy if you’re accepted.
That is for the provincial Police, Sûreté du Quebec (SQ). Do they have the same requirements for municipal Police?
@@fujineopan Yes, they do. All the Municipal cops I know had to go through the same process to become cops...
@@fujineopan the only way to become a cop is to graduate from the police academy and to be accepted in it you need a college degree in "technique policière" so yeah, all the same
@@bloggershoot4006 I’ve done 2 sessions / 6 already (1 year / 3). I’m joining the Canadian army force as a reservist MP and i hope I can get into the RCMP as soon as I finish my techniques policière. That’ll mean I’ll have more than 3 years and a half of studies + MP formations. I don’t think any cop as that much formation before starting the job anywhere else in the world😂
Hey allo, un frère quebecois ici.
And yeah its the same for municipal and SQ.
We have some bad cops, but its a minority
I love Canada, kisses from Brazil
I'm glad, have you ever been? Cops are a lot nicer here than the US, they'll get off duty and smoke a joint with you on the sidewalk lol. I love it here. Toronto and Ottawa are beautiful cities with lots of nice people. Enjoy your day and don't forget to smile! Take life a day at a time and don't let your past bother you. Smiles from Ontario!
@@finneganlefebvre8539 Toronto and Quebec! 😊
@@gabiicastro Sweet! You should check out Ottawa! It's a beautiful city, and if you go down Sparks Street there's lots of good food. You can take it all the way down to the war memorial, then check out Parliament and Rideau Canal. The Rideau Center mall is also very cool. They have good bubble tea there.
Right back at ya Brazil 🤗
também te amo Brasil
Canada’s population is about 37 million. If crime rates are calculated per capita though, it is lower here in the North.
Happy Canada day from the UK 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇬🇧🇬🇧
Thank you sir
Most officers in training in Canada need 2 years post secondary usually in preparation courses before applying to become a cop.
You really presented this well. I’m a Canadian copper, 29 years on. I can say 98% of this info graphic was correct. I have American cop friends, so I know a lot about their end. The most glaring correct stat is concerning the number of cops who die from suicide compared to in the line of duty.
The most glaring "fact" is about the minimum requirements for getting hired…it is age 18, and it is a high school diploma….but rarely do these young folks get hired (EXCEPT the Toronto Police Service 😳 because they take on just about anyone with a good background check due to the high turn-around rate). The Services want a college or university degree, plus a lot of life experience to see how you would deal with specific scenarios. 18 years old usually equals not a lot of life experiences, in my opinion.
Thanks again for reaction to this video….very well done 👍
Thank you for what you do for us! ❤️🇨🇦
Thank you for your service, greatly appreciated.
I think Canada is based on the "Peelian Principles" so their approach to policing will be more akin to the UK than the USA. E.g. Policing by consent
Most Police departments in Canada have a major pay increase after 5 years of service. In my city Saskatoon Police start of at $75,000, after 5 years it goes up to 101,000 a year.
Where do I sign up?
75,000 for a normal cop??????
@@huntingrunner That's what I was told by a Saskatoon Police Sargent at a recruitment event the Service had a few weeks ago. Not only that, they also have great gear.
Watch this video. The Saskatoon Police Service made a lip-sinc video and won 3rd place out of all of North America
czcams.com/video/Tnao-hhUedU/video.html
@@dodoDodo-of6pu Oh wow that's pretty good pay. At first I was even more shocked than I am now because I didn't convert the amount into euros, but compared to a german officer that is god tier payment. I hope you immediately joined when you got the offer lol
The thing a lot of people dont understand about policing in the US is how federal and state funding affect local police depts. When a certain crime or offense increases, local police can get extra funding. That is why you see extra cops patrolling around holidays and seemingly random times to counter increased speeders, drunk drivers, or any particular crime. As far as quotas, as a former LEO, I did not have a quota. I was free to write as many as I saw fit.
If you were wondering about police uniform in Canada they are really much the same as America's. The Red known uniform from the RCMP is only used for ceremonial purposes and not really for patrolling.
What's worse is that the rights to that uniform were bought by Disney.
@@GReesor they never had the rights to them, they were just awarded with a 5 year contract to produce the uniform
@@GReesor No the courts told Disney to get bent.
Happy Canada day everyone🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Yes
Yeee
@Ocean Blue ok peter griffin
Canada's self defense and gun and free speech laws suck
@@kovyjacob we dont have free speach lol we don even got a first amendment
Theo, you need to come up buddy, our beer rocks AND the people will make you laugh!
But this video is pretty much wrong, the RCMP (My old mob) is not the only force in Canada, Ontario, Quebec each have a provincial force and almost every major city has its own Police force (Which usually pays more then the RCMP).
However the RCMP offer more options such as UN peacekeeping, Embassy duties, air marshals, Federal Policing duties and Northern or aboriginal Policing duties.
You really do need to pop on up and see this place (It is Awesome!)
I will when the restrictions go away!
@@CombatArmsChannel Well I can arrange a tour of the base in Edmonton if you find your way this far North! AND A FEW COLD BEERS!
@@godlovespuppies-yb5kl noted 😎
@@CombatArmsChannel Hey bud, cheers from Canada! Maybe pop by Ontario too! I'd love to meet you! We could have some molsons and hang out on the back deck lol. Oh and you have to try Canadian candy! I'm sure if you don't come down sometime soon, somebody will send you some. Maybe me. ;)
@@CombatArmsChannel They're gone!!
Happy Birthday Canada 🇨🇦🍁
I live in downtown Winnipeg, the cops in my neighbourhood are known by most people by their first names. They also work closely with The Bear Clan, a former native gang that became the Neighbourhood Watch. My building has no buzzer and I'm often up late so they knock on my window to get in sometimes.
Wow. That's actually really domestic.
@@thewillowtree727 A lot of the police that patrol here live in or near this neighbourhood, you see them in their civvies with their families, shopping or hanging out at local places with friends. They know most of the homeless, drunks and locals who hang out in the park outside my window by name too.
@@ll7868 that sounds kinda awesome tbh
@@thewillowtree727 Having police patrol their own and neighbouring communities works out well for them and the people, there's more trust when you see them as members of the community themselves, outside the uniform and doing average things, like when you were young and saw your teacher at the movie theatre with a date and realized she has a life outside the classroom, you saw her as more of a complete person, same with police.
@@ll7868 yeah, that's true.
As a correctional officer of 25 years, I agree that you can get into Canadian policing as a high school graduate but, they're really looking at people with 1-2 years comparable experience. We get a lot of kids coming into corrections just to jump start their policing career. As for the gun situation, we have a lot of rifles due to a high population of hunters. Handguns on the other hand, are hard to get legally and require specific permissions when you want to take your gun anywhere. You have to let the police know if you're just taking your gun to a shooting range, when you're travelling, where you're going and they highly discourage stopping along your route. This creates a system where it's rarer to find illegal handguns, but not impossible.
I am sorry, since when does criminals go by the law? if a criminal want a gun they will get a gun, I do understand that regular law abiding citizens will not have hand guns, but criminals have never stopped getting them whenever they wanted them, period.
@@acarriere8534 You really missed my point here. I was referring to the difficulty in legally purchasing handguns creating less of a blackmarket for handguns. Wasn't trying to infer that criminals were using legally obtained handguns just that there's definitely less availability of handguns here.
@@billpemberton3982 Lots smuggled into Canada over the border from the U.S......you mean they didn't apply for an RPAL? lol
10:00 - We have plenty of guns here, just few handguns, and thats a big difference. You cant really hide a rifle like you can a pistol, so it gives cops here more time to diffuse the situation, leading to lower kills.
@Stephanie Nichols No, 20 ish million guns for 37 million people. Yet per capita we have FAR fewer gun murders.
It's not about the types of firearms, it's our license system we have.
@@ThePizzaGuy1998 Yeah, all of those gang-bangers in Toronto killing each other (and the odd collateral kill) have Firearms Licences. Right! lol
@@airborne63 when's the last time we had a mass shooting?
Fun fact: in 2017, the estimated number of civilian firearms per 100 persons in Canada was 34.7, which put the country in 7th position on 230 countries/states surveyed (which is nothing to sneeze at). In the US, that number jumped to 120.5, which means there were more guns than people in the country, putting the US in first position worldwide.
Canadians do love their guns; they just don't really use them against each other and can't conceal/open carry them in public. It's also a lot harder to legally own a firearm here. You have to actually take a class, pass an exam, apply for the license, pass a security screening/background check, etc.
While your numbers are correct- please don't forget that MOST of Canadians own " Long guns"- rifles and such- for hunting. It is very, very difficult to get a handgun in Canada.
My husband and I have partied hearty with a few cops in our travels in the US. The best crew were in BeanTown. There was a captain, a US State Trooper and a detective. The fire alarm went off in the pub and one of them flew out the door only to come back a few minutes later with a box of disposable ear plugs and passed them around! ROTFL! We went back to their old haunt a few years later and they were still at it! Great people.
Another time we partied with a Beauford County Sheriff in Savanah Georgia. He was with his dispatcher and it was his birthday. What a hoot. We saw a take down at the end of the night across the street and this Sheriff gets on his radio and starts describing to the cop involved what he did right and how he should have done it! We were howling and so was the cop on the receiving end of the call.
This man may not know everything but his open mindedness and attitude towards learning is very refreshing. Subscribed! Keep it up
Always being alert is called "hypervigilant" which isn't a real word but one that is used by cops everywhere. It's very stressful over many years.
A better word might be Siege Mentality. Does not help when you go out of the way to alienate the local community with over policing.
Meanwhile in Finland police academy is a 3 year masters degree. Customs officers do a year and a half of 2nd degree vocational studies (and a 3 year vocational or a high school diploma is needed to enter)
Same here in Germany
Imagine going to university to be a cop🤦🏾
@@kh7736 Don’t know about the fins but here in Germany it’s a dual education system and cases like the last point of Nasse83 are necessary for higher police service like the BKA (federal agency, somehow comparable to the profilers of the FBI - on federal level we have these guys and the “normal” federal police which guards the border, central train stations or airports and which hosts the GSG 9). Pros of these kinds of police education system is that they work effective, get better prepared and there is way less malpractice of police duties and deadly shots are only fired if the situation affords it.
@@kh7736 Imagine wanting to be a cop in the first place hahahaha I play a game of 'what psychological issue do you think they have' every time I see a cop. I almost always guess just power fantasies/anger issues where they feel the need to get involved in everything. It isn't even just the racism of police, I'm white and I STILL got talked to for no reason just cuz I was walking around at night. Idk I HATE speaking to cops when there's no reason to. Hell, I'll die trying to take care of something myself before I talk to a cop even when I have a reason to. Maybe if they weren't constantly writing tickets for every little thing and actually focused on educating and supporting the community I wouldn't feel this way. But as it stands, ACAB.
@@camm2091 y'all need to come to canada, cops here will get off duty and smoke a joint with you on the street and pretty much let you off with a warning for like 34 counts of first degree murder if you're nice to them lol
RCMP are mainly for federal investigations (similar to the FBI) and have policing agreements with many provinces that do not have their own provincial police. Canada has a similar level of urbanization as the United States (less than 20% of the population lives in rural areas) and the majority of Canadians live in cities that have their own local police services. If you are ripping down a highway on the prairies, you might get pulled over by a Mountie.
if you are ripping down a highway anywhere in Canada, you'll get pulled over by the RCMP since highways are part of their jurisdiction.
@@SarcasmDetector Not "anywhere". Only in provinces which do not have a provincial police force. The chances of being pulled over for speeding by the RCMP on a highway in Ontario or Quebec are so remote that it would be difficult to quantify. If the RCMP pulls you over within those two provinces you're probably on a list of criminals they are looking for.
@@SarcasmDetector Funny. I didn't notice any sarcasm in your post. It was just plain wrong!
Hi, my name is Doug and I am a retired member of the Canadian Army Infantry, S.F. and we as Canadians live on about the same acreage as the U.S.A. with a population of almost 40 million compared to your 300 million !!! Our sardine can is almost empty, yours is damn near full. Our military is well respected around the world, mostly because of our prowess in WW11 and our commitment to the United Nations Peace Keeping initiative. We're small but mighty, and you're absolutely right, when we hear WAR, all hell breaks loose! I dig what you do soldier, keep up the good work, Peace be with you Brother👊
Great Channel. Thank You. As a Canadian, and a gun owner, In my experience, probably 80 per cent of guns in Canada are legally registered, and are used for hunting or transferred as heirlooms from family members through generations . Also, all legal gun owners are required to attend a course on handling and storing guns prior to being given a licence. Yes , there is much less gun crime in Canada, but when there is gun crime. They don't miss, and statistically it's usually with a 30-06, not a handgun. There will always be illegal guns in both Countries, but fortunately, and unfortunately, the illegal gun owners tend to eliminate each other. Mass shootings aside of course. Which is always tragic. Basically, too many hand guns in the States, and too easy to get one for the average Joe. Thx again.
The number one killer in North America (if we're talking cartridges) is .22 LR. If we add the rest of the world, the number one killer becomes the famed 7.62x39mm, which eclipses all other rimfire and centerfire cartridges. No cartridge in history has knocked down more _Homo sapiens_ than 7.62x39mm. However, if we're just talking about Canada and the United States, the .22 LR is the cartridge that kills the most humans, as it is implemented in homicides, suicides, and a shitload of accidents.
If you ever come to Canada, you gotta check out Banff National Park in Alberta. It's right in the middle of the Rocky Mountains and it's bloody gorgeous. Also, as for the pay, I believe RCMP starts out around $50,000 but goes up to $80,000 after a short time. From then on it just keeps going up, and they're one of the lowest paid police organizations in the country.
just inside the edge of the Rocky Mountains.
Yeah, my daughter became a constable last year, which is kind of funny because I was in the RCAF for 25 years and her mom for about 30 years. All those years she kept on saying that she wanted nothing to do with uniforms! And then, her husband is also an RCMP constable. Salary starts at around $56K and moves up to around $86K after a couple of years (canadian $)
Btw, what you see about that uniform is the dress uniform. It’s not the every day wear.
The RCMP are actually in pretty scary situations with no backups up North and in rural communities. I woul d airbrushed be.prepared for.everything with no backup.
I watched this before but I'd like to say much respect for giving our country a moment to shine 🙏🏻🇨🇦
I always feel safe with Canadian police. The few times I was in the US, I was scared of them. and that was a long time ago. 🇨🇦
This was many years ago. I was in my teens sitting in the back of my parents car. We were in a major US tourist area, beaches on the ocean. There was a police officer directing traffic. The officer was directing the traffic with his hand on the grip of his holstered gun. I found this shocking and still do. It could have jyst been a convenient place to rest your unused hand, but even back then to a very innocent and naive teenager (I was a total nerd type) I considered it execessive.
Just an FYI we have more than 100 k police officers in Canada provincial and federal combined. I don’t think that includes sheriffs as well.
Traditionally, the NWMP/RCMP were paramilitary and many enlisted in the army when war was declared.
When my dad was young, it used to be that you had to be at least 6 feet tall to be in the RCMP. 60's - 70's
actually the rule was 5' 10 " not 6 ft
Mounties are pretty much every cop outside a major city, not just in low population areas. Vancouver has VPD but all the surrounding cities like Burnaby, Richmond, New West and even North Van have RCMP.
About a quarter of the suburbs have their own police force, and Surrey is about to as well.
@@michaeldowson6988 Surrey is the Homebase of the RCMP E Division, they aren't getting a city force.
Know why crime is so bad in Surrey? There's piss all to do there except rip off your neighbours.
Apparently you've never been to Ontario or Quebec.
@@danmoyer4650 I lived in Hamilton. They have city police and Mounties in the municipalities around the city.
crazy to hear my own city of fresno has a lot of officers taking their own lives
"Squared Away and Well Rounded". That's the best line I've heard lol. Not hating. I like the channel.
Me watching this at 5am nervous as hell about my Forces test (always am but I always pass just testing jitters I guess) at 9am after doing a set of night shifts (met tech for Canadian forces). I'm enjoying your videos on the long nights thank you.
While the OPP and city COPS are highly respected in 🇨🇦, the RCMP have been under a lot of scrutiny for their political biases, and their treatment of members.
Lately, they have been the military arm of the Liberal Party.
@@andrewthompson5728 Leave the politics out of that. The Mounties had problems for many years. It is an internal cultural issue
@@gryph01 Prove me wrong.
@@andrewthompson5728 How about you give me examples of police being an arm of the Liberals. It is so easy making a statement and then others to prove against it. You made the statements. YOU PROVE YOU FU***NG STATEMENT A$$
You better answer me. Sh*thead. My grandfather, who was my mentor was an OPP officer for 40 years. He taught me that you cannot enforce the law, if ypu do not follow the law. He was not a tool for politicians. You have insuited me and my family.
my aunt tried to join the rcmp and couldn't because she didn't meet the height restriction fought it and lost even though she passed all the other physical tests they are strict
were strict but have changed
In Canada we have federal police (RCMP), provincial police and municipal police. Their roles vary depending on the province and region. In Quebec where I live, for example, the GRC (RCMP) has a more specialized role. It is not your "local" police service. Cities and towns have their own police service, and rural areas and highways are patrolled by provincial police (SQ).
No provincial police in BC only city cops or RCMP, here in Richmond we use the RCMP
BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba... I believe none of the eastern Maritime provinces have provincial police services... only Ontario and Quebec, both of which, are of course the only provinces that matter, in those peoples’ minds 😂😂
As a Canadian I feel a lot of the issues in the US really just comes down to population size. We do well on these "World Charts" because we have 10X less people than the US. 30-40 Million viewpoints and perspectives is easier to keep organized than 300-400 million.
Man, you gotta get up here & visit!!
10:00 A lot of crime sounds like a relative poverty issue.
I Californiaa it is promoted that you should steal as much as you can and it is being glorified by the politicians of that state, if you try to stop a crime going on you will be jailed, and the perpetrator(criminal) will successfully sue you for tens of thousands of $, so nobody does anything because being the good guy is perceive by the authorities as being the enemy of the state, so the more you kill and steal the less you are worried nut only if you are a POC if you are white well you are guilty even before you did anything even a good deed. there is the morality issue of the USA today, do something good you will be made enemy number one, but isf you are a POC: do drugs, point guns at pregnant women, treaten to kidnap her kids as well, do not obey the police orders and shop lift as much as you want, they will not only block NY STREETS for you they will erect monument in your honour, they will venerate you like god, all for being the worst human being on earth, go figure!
@@acarriere8534 I think you must live in bizaro world. I really don’t think CA is promoting criminal acts or killings.
@SA S morality drives crime? sounds like your opinion. Morality is subjective; also morality and law do not necessarily equal the same thing. Studies show good education, healthcare, employment opportunities in communities, and wealth lead to lower crime rates. Common sense says the same.
In Canada we view guns as tools for sport hunting. In America they are also seen as an instrument of protection (The right to bear arms) borne out of their fight for independence. Handguns in Canada are very controlled and only really stored and used at gun ranges for sport.
Not really ? Gangs in Toronto seem to have guns.
@@sheteg1 I mean Canadians not criminals...Those guns are highly illegal and have been smuggled into Canada from the US.
This video focused on the RCMP, the national police force, in Canada. But there are also provincial (state) forces in Ontario and Quebec, which differ in some respects from the RCMP. Also, each municipality (city, town, etc...) have their own local force. The admission standards and pay scales, therefore, will vary accordingly.
Canada's population is about 10% of the USA. Canada about 38 million. US about 328 million.
Canadians are almost as laid back as Australians but when they speak they sound like Americans but really polite.
for reference... Canada has about 16 million legal firearms that we know of. It's probably higher as many long guns don't need to be registered. That works out to one gun per 3 people, though I suspect we're closer to 1 gun per 2 people. The USA has around 390 million guns... or more than one per person.
Keep in mind that of the 390mil US guns, a very high proportion are handguns and automatic weapons, both of which are either illegal or very strictly regulated in Canada. We have mainly long guns (purpose-made hunting rifles and shotguns). Overall, I believe very deeply that Canadian gun owners are more respectful and knowledgeable about the power of firearms than (some/many) American gun owners.
As a Canadian we are not at all like Americans.
I agree, Canada 🇨🇦 is very, very different than USA...
About your comment about the number of guns...it's not the gun that kills, it's the person holding and shooting the gun.
Who told you that? It's silly. If the gun hadn't been there, chances are the person wouldn't have been killed.
Comparing salaries strictly on exchange rate is improper. They should be adjusted based on Purchase Power Parity (PPP).
We actually have a lot of guns in Canada when you consider the world as a whole, we are in the top 10 world wide on per capita ownership even though we have more restrictive gun laws. But we have no where near the gun violence of the US. It isn't because we don't have guns though, we are well armed.
RCMP is not accross Canada. They barely have any role in Quebec. And becoming a police officer in Quebec required you to complete a 3 year program in college that include a few months at the academy. Just being accepted in the program is no picnic as you need some pretty good grades. Slackers in High schools don't have a chance...
It should also be noted that there are 2 types of police in Canada. RCMP is its own, federally regulated police force. And then there's also a separate institution and separate training process for municipal police officers. Each city/municipality can choose which one they want, and the people within the community do have a certain amount of say (if they choose to participate in local politics).
There's also a VERY different pay structure between the two, because one is federal so its government paid. Whereas municipal police officers are kind of stuck with the budget/wage offered by the municipality. Smaller municipality, less funding for police salaries. As well, being a part of the RCMP means that you're a government employee, and can be stationed somewhere you don't want to be, but that's where the government stations you. 🤷♀️
In Finland, It’s on ”same” level as bachelors degree. You have to spend 3 years in Polamk (poliisi ammattikorkea koulu) after High school.
per capita a lot of people in canada have guns but they are generally hunting or sporting weapons. the odd person will get a special license which requires a mental health check to get
In canada there is still a lot of violent crime in the big city's and Canada still has a fair amount of guns
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police are fairly good, you could do a review of their musical ride,
You should definitely visit Canada, but remember there are big differences between different areas of our country. Looking forward to seeing you soon.
there may be a fitness exam in the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) who are roughly like the FBI
I think rookie cops start out around $90K in Toronto
When comparing an issue with two different countries that differ in population, you look at ‘rates’ or ‘per population/capita’ figures to get a comparison.
You should do a vid on usa game wardens and canadian conservation officers
I’m Canadian and we do think the police are more forceful in the US.
In Canada it takes 3 months of training to be a police officer and 6 months to be an RCMP and both require a high school diploma but they prefer a college/university degree. In the USA there is no national standard on training and it's usually done in 2 weeks and anyone can join, even high school dropouts. American cops are sent out with just a few hours each of weapons training and defensive driving and little to no people skills.
To be a cop in Québec you have to do a 3 year college course call a police technique before you can go to the national police school also
It's a bit more difficult depending on which police force you look to join. In the provinces of Ontario and Quénec they have Provincial Police. In Québec... you need a High school diploma, 3 years of college and 1 year at the police academy. With overtime, you can earn around 125'000$/year as a provincial policeman in Québec.
Canada is #1 in the world for quality of life
A friend who is a Canadian cop said that he believed a challenge for American police is that many of them are former military. It could be hard for them to adapt their strategies from a more preemptive/aggressive approach to an approach focused on diffusing situations. Over a career it could be difficult to avoid letting old training slip in even just once or twice. Not sure if this is true? Any ex-military cops that could comment on their transition?
The number of guns must also make things way more intense.
Canada has one-ninth of the population of the USA. I am Canadian and have lived in the USA for25% of my life. FYI the RCMP is a federal police agency. They mainly police rural areas but also part of the RCMP is like the FBI. With highly educated investigators and state-of-the-art CSI facilities, etc. All Cities in Canada have their own metro Police department that is not the RCMP. Ontario has Provincial police as well, who are more like the Highway patrol in the States. Some large towns have Police Department in Canada as well.
Noti gang
Fact the rcmp your first post you are usually the only officer in a small town usually in Nunavut or Yukon
It's still crazy to me because i live in Quebec, Canada and here the police program is a 3 year college degree with alot of intervention classes.... its crazy that even other provinces don't train their police as well.
They do in Ontario. They have to take the college Police Foundations Program before applying to become a police officer. Also, the RCMP represents the provincial police force in some provinces such as B.C. and Saskatchewan among others.
Canada is different in that we have more robust social programs (education, healthcare, welfare). Since we largely consume US entertainment we have similar cultural experiences.
Their is a distrust of police by Indigenous peoples due to residential schools and the current Child and Family Services whom use police to seize new forms from Indegenous parents. The relationship between RCMP and most Indigenous groups is pretty tenuous.
Canada has municipal police services (larger cities) provinincial police services - Ontario and Quebec for sure most of the other provinces are patrolled by the RCMP
City cops will have different training. RCMP is federal.
There are far more firearms in Canada than you would think. The legal ones are controlled pretty tightly. I have my RPAL which means I can have handguns. I need a separate paper to transport it and then, only straight from home to the range and back. I had to take a two-day safety and operations course and pass written and practical tests. Then I could apply to get it. Background checks and references and all other hoops. As an RPAL holder, my name is run in the national Criminal Name Index EVERY day. Most of the handguns in the hands of crooks are smuggled in from guess where.
Well, the RCMP is more of a Federal Police but I live in Montreal Quebec we have SQ Police which is Provincial police, and of course, we have City Police but you CAN'T apply as a police officer out of high school you actually have to go to college and take certain courses and that's a couple of years then you go to the Police academy.
There's nothing "provincial" in SQ. Language police. No provincial parks. A separate pension plan. A "National" assembly. No real bilingualism like the rest of us have to put up with. Even hospitals are French only on their signs.
This is somewhat misleading. Different police forces in Canada, either at the provincial or federal levels, have different standards. For instance, in the province of Quebec, you need to have a high school diploma AND a three years college degree in law enforcement in order to be elligible to apply to the actual police academy. And that is in order to be a municipal cop.
It’s hard to become a cop in Canada right now unless you have a university education.
The RCMP is the federal police service, whereas the FBI is in the US. Provincially (state), some provinces have there own and some have the RCMP. In small towns and for highway patrol, particularly in the west, they use the RCMP. Also all of these RCMP police get support from provincial and national RCMP. The rapport with non RCMP police is very good. When I was there we had joint task forces, offered forensic help, and training courses offered to all police services.
When there is the tragedy of officers lost on duty, members of different police departments from across Canada attend funeral services. Also representatives of US police often attend too.
thankyou.
Hi Canadian here..I think some of these comparisons are different just because there is a larger population in America. The population of America is 9 times that of Canada.
HAND GUNS... that is the Difference between Canada & USA crime rates.
In Canada, it is easier to get a rifle license than in the usa, if you live in a rural area.
BUT... hand guns? There is no legitimate need for them to hunt or defend a home from animals. They are human-target specific weapons. So Canada does not allow hand guns except in unusual circumstances.
It is hard for a Canadian to smuggle an SK-47 or 12-gauge into a bank. It easy for an American to rob anything with a HIDDEN hand gun. The key is how easy hand guns are to conceal. Hunting & Military rifles are not. Hence, Canada is taking the wisest course in focusing on HAND GUNS as the major contributating factor.
The RCMP is the federal police like the FBI is in the US. Like the US there are local police forces in Canadian cities and smaller communities and a few provinces have provincial police as well perhaps similar to the state troopers in the US. The video kept showing "Hollywood's Canada" in that the RCMP was pictured in red "Surge" throughout. Of course, the RCMP does not wear red surge in everyday service. Those uniforms are kept to wear in parades or very special occasions or in certain places where US tourists abound so that the tourist's limited, hollywood-influenced image of Canada and the RCMP is satisfied. There are 2.3M registered firearm owners in Canada, many with "Restricted" qualifications allowing the purchase of handguns and then there are the criminals who, of course, do not register their guns, mostly short-barreled, prohibited handguns smuggled in from the US. The current federal government in Canada is pretty left wing and is on a campaign to take guns away from the registered, law-abiding owners who are no threat to society while not really going after the criminals who possess their guns illegally. In Canada it is illegal to carry a handgun with you unless you have a very special license of which, for the average civilian there are rumoured to be less than 10 issued across the country. Therefore, you are extremely unlikely to encounter a Canadian packing a handgun unless you are in a bad part of town where the drug dealers hang out and shoot themselves over deals gone bad.
Another difference between police between the two countries is that there is only one federal police in Canada, the RCMP, instead of the multiple federal police entities like FBI, ATF, etc. in the US. Also we can have provincial and municipal police in Canada but in some provinces and municipalities, with lower population density, it's the RCMP that do the job. So the tax burden of policing is more fairly distributed in Canada than in the US.
Another note is I knew a man that was an officer in Miami and moved to Toronto and he left the police force because Toronto was just as bad as Miami now. The big cities like Toronto and London have problems but the majority of us live in smaller towns with lower crime rates.
In Norway it takes 3 years to become a police.
Canada population is 35,000,000 USA all the way has 300+ million so thats a huge factor too.
Compliments to your approach and reaction to videos. RE comparing firearms between Canadan and the U.S. strongly suggest you have a reaction video to the Michale Moore Documentary 'Bowling for Columbine' where he actually does a comparison between the two.
Ontario and Quebec have their own Provincial Police Forces
Its wary (way-ree)
Weary (wee-ree) means tired
As a Canadian I feel we have a MAJOR unfair advantage in crime rates/police involved shootings number one being we have a population of what just 36million and the U.S has a population over 360million and number 2 while our cultures are very similar our laws are vastly different
Cagney and Lacy are female cops - I've heard of and or watched all those shows - they forgot Barney Miller.
Imagine being in the cabin in the middle of the woods when someone pipes in a really creepy version of ring around the rosy, you hear growling and someone takes down your door, which wasn't locked, with a chain saw. If you recognise this story as non-fiction, you probably got the story from one of the two reporters who, along with a few land defenders, were in the cabin at the time and that the people outside the door were RCMP aka Mounties.
Ya hard to compare these two because of the numbers game in all areas. But my heart goes out and my prayers for all law enforcement in North America.
If you want to watch something about Canada and the US that will make you laugh, you should check out Rick Mercer's Talking to Americans. Rick Mercer is a Canadian comedian and he did a news-style special here in Canada where he went to the US just prior to the 2000 Presidential Election to ask Americans their thoughts on various things. One of the funniest things I've ever seen. You should really check it out. It's a 1 hour special including commercials that you can find on CZcams, but there are much shorter clips taken from the special if you want to react to one of them. It's pretty eye-opening, in a funny way.
A few things that as a Canadian I noticed from interacting with the Police in both Countries. And I actually went to LA to look into being a cop.
The training here in Canada is about the same length as it is for the Military (boot camp/trade-battle school). You need post secondary schooling to better your chances to become a Police Officer here.
As far as the way the Police act the ones in the U.S. are more stand offish I found when you first approach them, this is not a bad thing either as they don't know the intention of the person. In Canada we are not allowed to carry firearms unlike in the U.S. where depending on the State a person could be armed and that makes a difference in how the Police need to conduct a stop/situation.
One big thing is also the media as you only hear of the bad thing's U.S. police do not the countless good things. Here in Canada you hardly hear anything even when a shooting takes place it's not really mentioned, so the Police are not looked on as a group that think they are above the law. I know both active and former cops on both sides of the border and they are all outstanding people. One thing I suggest is people join Law Enforcement groups and their local Police on social media then they see what the new's wont show.
To be fair, Canada has a lower total population than some major cities in the US as well. As of 2020, Canada has an estimated population of 38 million.
Also, hi from Canada 🇨🇦
Please list the U.S. cities that have populations larger than 38 million. It may interest you to know that Toronto is the 4th largest city in North America, after Mexico City, New York City, and Los Angeles.
It would be more useful if they were comparing regular cops in Canada, instead they used the RCMP which is a federal police force.
