Learn more
The DICE program is a three-week immersive experience hosted at the RCMP Academy in Regina, Saskatchewan. It offers participants hands-on training in physical fitness and policing teamwork, and an introduction to the Criminal Code and RCMP policies. Participants are also paired with RCMP mentors who provide guidance throughout the training and recruitment process.
Candidates who complete the training experience will receive ongoing support and guidance from the DICE team as they go through the RCMP's police officer application process. By completing DICE training, participants complete some of the steps of the police officer application process, which will be reflected in their applicant files.
Since the first DICE troop in 2023, over 150 participants have completed the program, and dozens are at various stages of the RCMP application or training process. 10 former DICE participants have completed RCMP training and are working at RCMP detachments across the country. Others have taken on other roles at the RCMP or joined other policing agencies.
