OBS

This program has been made possible through a funding partnership with Human Resources Development Canada(HRDC). Aboriginal people interested in a career with the RCMP who do not meet the basic entrance requirements, but otherwise would be suitable candidates are enrolled as cadets on the ACDP. Following a three week assessment period at Depot Division in Regina, Saskatchewan, the cadets return to a detachment in their home area(usually) with a program designed to assist them to address identified shortcomings. The cadets receive an allowance, and have up to two years to attain the basic entrance requirements; once successful they proceed to Regina to undergo basic cadet training. As soon as a cadet enters basic training, she/he is no longer on the ACDP.

OBS

Ce programme a été rendu possible grâce à un partenariat avec Développement des ressources humaines Canada (DRHC). Il s'adresse aux Autochtones intéressés à faire carrière dans la Gendarmerie royale du Canada et qui ne satisfont pas aux exigences fondamentales d'admission, mais qui pourraient autrement constituer des candidats intéressants. Ces personnes sont enrôlées comme cadets dans le PVCA. Après une période d'évaluation de trois semaines à la Division Dépôt à Regina (Saskatchewan), les cadets retournent au détachement de leur localité (autant que possible) avec un programme conçu pour les aider à combler leurs lacunes. Les cadets reçoivent une allocation et ont jusqu'à deux ans pour satisfaire aux critères fondamentaux d'admission. Une fois qu'ils ont réussi, on les envoie suivre la formation de base des cadets à Regina. À compter de ce moment-là, ils ne font plus partie du PVCA.
