Looking for a career in law enforcement? There are several RCMP jobs available right now across Canada, and most positions don’t require a college degree.
Current openings vary from 911 police dispatchers to several administrative roles, so if you’ve always wanted to work with the RCMP, dust off your resume and look into these openings in different provinces.
Last year, the RCMP launched DICE, the Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience, which aims to “remove systemic barriers” for new immigrants. The program is designed to allow underrepresented Canadians to learn about a career in policing.
To qualify, applicants must be 19 or older, a Canadian citizen or permanent resident, able to pass a security check, and in good physical condition. You can learn more about it here.
