Growing up in a small rural community of Grand Pre, Nova Scotia to town life in Kentville and Bridgewater. On my 19th birthday in Halifax, signing documents with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Training at Depot Division, Regina; being posted to New Brunswick, followed by Nova Scotia retiring after 33 years completed service.While serving as a 'Mountie' I was posted in N.B in 1971 at the detachments of Sackville, Campbellton City, Port Elgin, Hampton, Bathurst, Petitcodiac, Campbellton City (second time), Gagetown and Jacquet River before my final posting in Nova Scotia at Antigonish where I retired in 2004 and still living to this day in 2025.My upbringing was adventurous and different from today’s youth. My early adulthood was that of a normal teenager and then becoming a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.Police work is not always exciting, but you have your days. It is mostly doing paperwork and justifying what you did through various assigned duties; it is dealing with people and the problems they encounter; it is also an attempt to deter crimes by patrolling troubled areas and doing investigations to find those responsible.Upon reaching the rank of sergeant my upward movement was achieved. The sergeant rank is the most respected among the constables and yet one of those ranks where you still can 'get down and dirty.' One that you still can work in close partnership with the public. Social skills and accountability are crucial when interacting with those you serve.I want to share my learning experiences and the pros and cons of my decisions. My goal is to prove that it was a privilege to be a Mountie and that one should uphold the right and standards of serving the public.This is an essential read for anyone interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement, as it provides valuable insights into the duties involved.
