pp. 184, “Follow “Troop 17” through the agonizing and rewarding process of making Mounties. This is the story of a group of men and women who were transformed into national icons. Collectively, they are known as “Troop 17,” and together they struggle through six months at the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Training Academy in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. They begin as raw recruits, work their way through the intense RCMP program, survive the many indignities which are heaped upon them, and emerge as red coated Mounties, members of one of Canada’s most popular national institutions. This intimate look at the rigors and demands of RCMP training and the strength, courage and determination of the individual recruits is a fascinating story which inspires pride in Canada’s national police force.”
