Probably go to jail.

We can’t throw every single person down here in jail down here for every little thing.

So, you know, you do your thing but we also have a job to do and you understand how that goes to so.

Front line policing is the heart and soul of what the RCMP does every day and every night.  Since the 1920s, the RCMP has been policing most of Canada ‑‑ eight provinces, three territories and more than 200 municipalities. From their home bases in more than 750 detachments, the RCMP hits the streets in cruisers or on foot in an effort to maintain peace and order across the country. Whether it’s in the east or the west, front line policing is a constant balancing act between proactive and reactive police work where danger is not only met head on, but often diverted before it even happens. Around the clock, meet the officers who call the streets their home.
