Having to send new recruits to the NWT and other remote areas must play a part in that. If you have a top drawer 'police prospect' and can choose between doing real police work in a city centre or being stuck in La Loche Saskatchewan - not much of a decision I would say. The RCMP has to lower standards to fill the spots.
