Visit Visit our website This 1961 educational film, produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, looks at the training and duties of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). It starts with the footage of the arduous training that they go through including drills, martial arts, and horse riding. This is followed by some of the tasks that fall under the Mounties’ mandate including “routine” police work, interacting with local and indigenous communities, naval patrols, arresting drug dealers, dog training, and border patrol activities. The film highlights the wide range of activities that fall under the purview of the Mounties, the extent of which is relatively unusual for a police force. 0:07 EB Films “Canada’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police”, 0:20 Produced by Encyclopedia Britannica Films, 0:35 Mounties on horses and marching, 1:04 Mounties training, 1:20 a man at a job interview to become a Mounty, 1:50 the man arriving at a Mounty training center, 2:06 man receiving his uniform and other kit, 2:26 man has his uniform fitted, 2:44 men sitting together polishing things in the barracks, 3:08 Mounties being instructed in a classroom, 3:39 Mounties marching and conducting drills, 4:05 Mounties learning police holds and Judo, 4:19 Mounties riding horses, 4:42 recruit learning how to saddle and groom a horse, 5:05 recruits learning how to mount and ride horses, 5:30 recruits riding through an obstacle course and falling off their horses, 6:00 recruits doing exercises, 6:18 recruit going to sleep, 6:39 recruits in red uniforms after graduation, 7:06 the recruit doing routine work in a remote town in Nova Scotia including patrols, ID checks, school visits, enforcing game laws, and helping people when their car breaks down, 8:48 a Mounty on patrol on a dog sled in the high north of Canada, 9:30 Mounty meeting a group of Eskimo, 10:11 an RCMP patrol ship, 10:39 Mounties rescuing a stranded ship, 11:03 Mounties bringing a man on a stretcher to their patrol ship, 11:26 Mounties in plain clothes sneaking up on a drug user and arresting him, 12:32 the RCMP dog section where German Shepherds are being trained, 13:47 a Mounty patrol at the Canada-US border catching two smugglers, 15:04 different duties covered by the Mounties with footage including police, border patrol, and internal security service, 15:23 Mounties in red uniforms marching, 16:03 “The End” We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
