Here in Canada the RCMP has a policy that when a Constable graduates from training Depot after their 6 months of training, they will not be posted to their home Province. That is to avoid having to investigate or arrest family members or friends. For those that do not know, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are our national Federal Police Service, with jurisdiction in all parts of our country. They were first stood up in 1873 to patrol the US /Canada border in the western plains. Their official motto is Maintain The Right . JimB.
