the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police). I have always wanted join the RCMP ever since I was very young. The idea of being part of Canada's first federal police agency and the rich history that goes a long with it has inspired me to set my goals to become apart of them. Description The RCMP is the Canadian national police, it was born out of a need for a national police force to enforce the law in Canada’s newly acquired western territories. It began as the NWMP (North West Mounted Police) in 1873
Every generation of law enforcers deals with issues unique to their field. Canadian Royal Mounted Police (RCMP) corporal Terry Burns (2015), believes public perception, funding, staffing and equipment are some of the greatest issues 21st century Canadian police forces are facing (November 5, 2015, personal communication). Inspector Rosemary Hawkins (2015) with the Calgary Police service also acknowledges sexism, government control, drugs and gangs, and media coverage of law enforcement as modern
The NWMP: Development of Early Canadian Law Enforcement The creation of the North-West Mounted Police in 1873 was the "ultimate expression of the federal government’s control over policing" (Johnson & Griffiths: 1991, 29).

The Use of the TASER in the Police Force The use of conducted energy weapons in the police force has become increasingly popular since they were introduced only a short while ago. The TASER is claimed to be the safest and most productive type of less lethal force in use today, with a very quick recovery rate and no-long term side effects. The TASER has quickly taken over the harsh use of pepper spray, the brutal force of the baton and in some cases the firearm. However, the TASER has faced massive

Research suggests that police misconduct in Canada is both a rotten apple problem and a rotten barrel problem, with the latter not being as prevalent (Griffiths, 2015). That does not mean, however, that entire police services have not engaged in misconduct; that could simply mean that they do a good job of hiding it from the public. If there is widespread
target unable to resist arrest. The TASER® in particular is the most widely used CEW. An article on the RCMP website states that CEW’s were adopted as another means to obtain compliance from resistant or harmful subjects when the police must arrest them. These tools allow police at these times to protect the public, and the subjects themselves from being harmed. Despite their effectiveness however, CEW’s have been under heavy scrutiny for a number of reasons. CEW’s have been known to cause fatalities

This paper seeks to show the comparison and the scrutiny of “"The Mad Trapper"” as a novel and its adaptation as a film. Both as a book and as a film it provides a good fiction which attracts an affluent legacy of folks, fables and myths. Rudy Wiebe’s recent novel The Mad Trapper (1980), the legend, presents a basis for the frame.
