If you ask any member of the RCMP or any police person out there, we are all attracted to the fact that we will be helping the community. If you ask anybody, they will all answer that. Every recruit will say that as well. We want to help our community and be involved in our community. What is exciting is that it is not a nine to five job. You never know what you're getting into. You start your day and you don't know what's going to happen that day, and everything you do is challenging and exciting, and at the end of the day you feel like you have accomplished something.
Yes, male applicants are more attracted to the toys, to the emergency response team, the tactical team; any cars or guns that we can show, they are going to be more interested in that. Women are interested in the field of investigation or forensics. The beauty of the RCMP is that you can do all of that. You can choose the path you want to follow and take courses according to what you wish to do.
