Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience

The Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience (DICE) is a new RCMP recruitment and retention initiative focused on removing barriers that impact racialized and underrepresented groups who aspire to join the RCMP.

• Newcomers to Canada (that is new Canadian citizens or permanent residents)
• Persons from diverse ethnic and cultural groups
• Individuals from racialized groups and communities
• Persons from all employment equity seeking groups

There are two parts to the Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience program:

1. Applicants are paired with an RCMP employee mentor who will provide their mentee with support and insight into a career with the RCMP. Mentors will assist Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience candidates with the Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience application process, the training experience, and police officer application process should they choose to apply.
2. The program also provides a three-week training session hosted at the RCMP Academy, Depot Division, in Regina, Saskatchewan for candidates who are identified to benefit most from the experience.

As a Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience candidate, you'll learn:

• how to work as part of a policing team
• an introduction to the Criminal Code and RCMP policy
• physical fitness and drill
• skills to help prepare you to apply to be a police officer

Candidates who complete the training experience will receive ongoing support and guidance from the Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience team as they go through the RCMP's police officer application process. By completing the Diverse and Inclusive Pre-Cadet Experience training, candidates will have completed some of the steps of the police officer application process, and their applicant files will reflect the completion of these steps.
