Episode 26 – RCMP Depot Pt. 1
( Drill, OC Spray, Rings and “Welcome to Depot”)
You asked for it. We Delivered.
Episode 26 was an opportunity for Wes, Mike and Erik to sit down and reminisce on their experience at the RCMP’s T Division , affectionately known and referred to as “Depot”.
For those outside of the organization, the RCMP’s training facility in Regina, Saskatchewan is seen a place similar to many across the world, an academy where police officers learn the profession and gain the basic knowledge needed to protect the public and enforce the law. To those initiated and whom wear the Red Serge and who willfully accept blisters on top of blisters from their high browns, Depot is so much more. It’s home.
The guys get the chance to discuss how they came about being invited to Depot, their first reactions, favourite practical disciplines, troop life as well as their most feared moments in drill class.
A must listen for anyone at who’s walked through the guard house, at Depot right now or more importantly for those looking to make Depot a part of their life in the RCMP.

Well the guys made it to the end of the first round, and what better way to end it in unreasonable fashion then to throw a couple of legendary bikes in the mix.
Is it going to be the fluid mesh wielding Omnicorp C1 from Robocop (2014) or is it going to be the moped puttering flying Eagle "Lawmaster" from Judge Dredd moving on and into the second round of the Hollywood Cop Car Challenge?
You're going to have to listen to find out!
