The RCMP would hire college students for summer internships. I did that for a summer. Shortened one week training and you got a uniform, sans firearm.
My partner and I were responsible for patrolling lakes in Southern Alberta. It was quite the experience and got some cool stories to tell. My partner lived in Cochrane and depending on where we were working, many times I would drop him off and I would drive the police truck on my own and pick him up in the morning. Which seemed rather cool for my 19 year old self.
