RCMP hiring questions (younger people)
I’m 19 and thinking about applying to the RCMP, ideally in northern BC (places like Smithers). I don’t have a criminal record, just one minor ticket for having an extra passenger on my N. When I was younger I tried weed at 16 but haven’t touched it since.
Since high school I’ve basically been living on my own half the time because my mom works away, so I’ve been handling getting myself to school/work, keeping the house in order, etc.
I’d say I’m in pretty good shape, I used to race downhill/enduro, ran a sub-50 400m before, can do around 30 push-ups and 10 pull-ups, and I can run a sub-22 minute 5k.
The only thing I’m unsure about is my color vision, I fail the Ishihara plate test but can pass a Farnsworth D-15 test.
Do you guys think I have a decent shot at getting hired right now, or would it be smarter to wait a year and build more experience? Also, how long does the whole application process usually take?
