Vehicles left running, unlocked and unattended create unnecessary risk and pose the potential for criminal activity. over the course of this winter investigators have responded to numerous complaints of stolen vehicles that fall under the category of ‘warm-up’ thefts. Crime prevention is a priority for the RCMP, but it’s also a collective community effort. Dress for the weather and do not leave idling vehicles unattended. ‘Warm-up’ thefts are 100% preventable!

Thirty-two students from across the prairies and territories will be selected to attend the RCMP Training Academy in Regina, saskatchewan to learn what it takes to become an RCMP officer. The students will train like cadets and will gain first hand experience of what a career in law enforcement requires. The event is open to applications from all interested Grade 11 and 12 students and all costs associated with this program will be covered by the RCMP. This event is extremely popular amongst students and feedback from those who have attended in the past has been very positive. That being said, it’s still a very competitive process as you can imagine. Not all students will be selected to attend. Most students will be contacted for interviews also, thereby making this process one that will provide them with valuable “jobseeking” experience that will serve them well with their future endeavors. The Application deadline is March 28th, 2013. For further information please contact RCMP Community Policing at 780-788-4245. 7
