RCMP APPLICANT GENERAL CHIT CHAT

[Ont. RCMP Recruiter]

Just to curb some anxiety here, for those that have Depot dates at this moment there is no change, ie no cancellations etc. Rest assured that while you might be an automated "out of office" response, there are still folks in the processing centre and people checking emails etc. If there are any cancellations, you will be contacted directly. So keep calm and carry on.

Sorry just relaxed I didn't add the other part I wanted too. There was a questions asking if National recruiting had sent out an email about shutting down. I honestly don't know, but I can say a lot if not most of us (Ontario Recruiting Unit) are working from home for now. So keep that in mind if you are emailing your advisors. Remember that you're not the only one waiting to get fingerprints for the security clearance, a medical, phone interviews etc. If you have a diary date to submit documents, selection package, or a question, we will get back to you. If you can't submit things by the date their due, simply email your advisor of this. Even if you get an auto reply, there's now a paper trail of you advising us. This is what us Police officers like to call a chain of evidence

Yes sir, only open to existing members and not accepting new members. Work is still a go and the range is open. So I'm keeping busy. How about you?

Working from home now. No gym to go to but I am running outside something I have never done before, usually play sports to get my cardio in. You know what they say, tough times don't last tough people do. Just greatfull for the sun. Free vitamin D.

Morning,
While training at depot, how do cadets keep in touch with their families ? Are they allowed to use smart phones and internet? Because during the time I spent working with the army in the middle east, we were prohibited from using any electronic device with camera or has access to the internet . We were only allowed to use " the flintstones-like" phones 33-10 Nokia is what they recommended

Use the search function. Or Google it. It seems like you haven't done either.

To quickly answer your question, you're only allowed to use carrier pigeon or smoke signals (range will depend on wind and visibility) to contact loved ones. Hope this helps!

During training hours you have no access to your cell phone or other devices. After hours you can use your device. Depot has internet, but not every where on base

"Baltimore’s mayor has called on the city’s inhabitants to refrain from killing one another for the time being, asking them not to “clog up” hospital beds as the coronavirus pandemic spreads far and wide across the country.

Police from the Logan County Sheriff's Office in Colorado took a slightly different approach, taking to Facebook to ask “all criminal activities/nefarious conduct to cease until further notice,” adding they would “update you when you can return to your normal criminal behavior.”

Los Angeles and New York City, meanwhile, have begun freeing non-violent inmates to make room in already-crowded prisons, another attempt to stem the spread of the outbreak.

Good afternoon,

Is it normal to have the field investigation commence before having the med/psych appointments scheduled?

TIA
