^^^ The reasons for not receiving employment within the RCMP are most certainly divulged to all municipal police detachments and vice versa.
In fact it is a standard resume question "Have you ever applied for policing employment in the last 5yrs", if so what were the results? (worded something like that)
I don't know how one can state is easier to gain employment with the RCMP - it is a pretty invasive process to go through.
Not sure how this has to do with the thread topic though.
I dont know about that. The cops I know never applied to the RCMP. They all wanted to be city cops. To suggest all or most city cops are RCMP rejects is unfair. And completely untrue.
I said 'typically' because its not absolute. There are certainly strong performers within municipal detachments that chose location over benefits. I never intended to come across as disrespectful.
The RCMP pays much higher than municipal departments do with better benefits as well. With that said, municipal departments do not send you for a term in some shithole- you get to work where you want.
All I know sought employment with the RCMP and failing that... settled on a municipal detachment. Of course, that was some time ago. From what I understand now... it is far easier to gain employment with the RCMP than it was a decade or two ago.
But even saying "typically" is based on nothing but those that you know, and is a damaging statement.
Most people I know have never considered being an RC for that very reason (being sent to some shithole as you mentioned).

There are some pretty undesirable postings for sure.
Where are you going with this TB, - sounds borderline brushstroking and entire force.

What do you guys want me to say?
Fact: The RCMP offers greater pay and benefits.
Perception (by myself and others here if you have been following): The RCMP has the stronger reputation when compared to municipal departments.
Draw whatever conclusions you wish. I surmised mine.
