    "The camp provided an immersive experience where participants engaged in various activities designed to introduce them to the life and responsibilities of a RCMP officer,” says Cpl Peter Gosse

    A group of 17 and 18 year olds in this province have completed a unique RCMP Mini Training Camp. Seventeen young people graduated from the week-long event.  Corporal Peter Gosse is RCMP NL’s Proactive Recruiter and one of the organizers for the camp.  He says, "The camp provided an immersive experience where participants engaged in various activities designed to introduce them to the life and responsibilities of a RCMP officer,“ and “the aim was to inspire the next generation of law enforcement professionals by offering hands-on training and insights from experienced RCMP officers.” Based on the feedback from the participants, Gosse expects to see at least some of them in the near future when they apply to become a member of the RCMP. This is the first time RCMP NL has offered this Mini Training Camp and hopes to make it an annual summertime event.
