Very informative documentation about what our Mounties are going through at present. I believe strongly that the force is heading in the right direction and will succeed in overcoming the present problems. I feel that the way they are protrade is mainly the product of our laws & our medias having the free hand that they do to chastise without both being accountable. Think of the millions of dollars the lawyers have made in the past year & how much the media has benefited. Freedom of speech???

This story was of profound interest to me. As a child I was taught to look up to and trust the police. In the past 20+ years what I have experienced, and continue to experience, at the hands of older members in particular, is a know-it-all attitude. There has been and continues to be outright refusal to accept legitimate complaints, never mind investigate. In one instance many years ago the RCMP refused to pick up a drug dealer for whom a warrant had been issued because I had made a complaint with the then new Public Complaints Commission. According to them, I "had no credibility". It was the subject of a newspaper investigation that proved what I said to be true. RCMP officers are just as capable of lying as any other person. As we are now seeing publicly as the result of the death at the Vancouver airport, under close scrutiny, their stories don't stand up. While I would like to believe that they will once again be a respectable police force, I'm not holding my breath.

being a parent of a recent rcmp graduate, i knew what to expect from the depot portion of the film. I believe it is a bit rediculios that grown men & women have to scream at there students in order to teach them. The montreal man,who quit depot is a great loss to the rcmp membership. It's too bad he wouldn't "Play the Game" and get through the 6 mts. Hopefully, Roger Brown will continue to improve the depot progam. As far as the Robert D. case, those mounties should be charged and given a discharge from the rcmp. We need people who are fair and compassionite and not think they are above any law.

This unfortunately is the reality of a police force that needed change over 30 years ago and continues to operate in the "dark ages" of policing. Having lived in an RCMP patrolled community for over 20 years it has been easy to see the continued downward spiral of the RCMP.

Facts remain Elliott came on board to make change and he has been an absolute failure in changing a culture that continues to reinforce all that is wrong with the RCMP.

I can only hope the Federal politicians also saw this documentary and will once again step in as was done by the Mulroney govt and restructure the RCMP. They currently do too many things with no accountability.

Canadians who are forced to have RCMP policing will continue at risk to a force that frankly is beginning to resemble more the Gestapo than a national treasure who once had the respect of the world.

One thing that came up and I find it very unfortunate, out of 32 recruits, only 19 graduates.
It is telling me that the recruiting is very very poor.
Could you imagine the amount of time and money going down the drain. It takes 3 to six months to process an applicaton. Please, a college or University degree does not make a person a better policeman-woman

I think the RCMP is a respectable institution with a long history of finely trained officers. I have come to know many RCMP who are honorable and good people. No matter where you look there will always be the flawed fewwho make mistakes. The RCMP is working towards rectifying this. The new recruits will hopefully be the face of change.

This documentary shows us what they have to withstand in order to make it. Some of it seems irrelavant, but havent we all done things to get what we want yet wonder if it is useful at the time?

We are fortunate to have a good national system in place, especially considering the corruption that goes on in other countries. Its easy to sit back and judge. I highly repsect our RCM. We should demand accountability but also be proud and honored as Canadians to have such a strong force.

Only 19 graduated out of 32. Great, some couldnt handle instructors yelling at them. Wait till they get out in the public and get yelled at, cursed at, spit upon and assaulted. Better that they are gone now instead of finding out months or years later they cant/ wont do the job. The show didnt show any of the classroom sessions where the new mounties are taught problem solving skills, team work and perfecting their service skills to the public. No ..that dosent make interesting headlines like a drill Sgt. yelling in your face. To the guy from Quebec that had the university degree and spoke several languages. What did he expect, graduate and be promoted to Inspector the next day. The first role of the job is to protect the public, which means getting out doing REAL police work perfecting investigation skills with experience. Too many young people of the Y generation dont want to work night shifts, expect the corner office and company car etc. If the guy thought the training was too tough, he should go to the Royal Military College, where members of the Forces are Trained to be Officers in the Military. They get yelled at there too..

It is telling that the best potential officer left the program. What was left to graduate was the same old. We do not need "James Bond" wannabees. We need thoughtful people who think for themselves and see beyond blindly following orders.
