Yeah, that’s pretty much the jist of it. Still love my job but wouldn’t recommend it to anyone looking to join. It’s become stressful just showing up before actually doing any of the work, and that’s due to a number of things.
However, I’d still highly recommend against the Mounties. They don’t belong in municipal policing, it just isn’t their thing. They aren’t structured for it outside of being call response/traffic enforcers, and you won’t become unchained from your desk. They do reports on everything and anything, and you’ll respond from a detachment and go back, rinse, repeat.
