The Indigenous Pre-Cadet Training Program (IPTP) includes a three-week training session at the RCMP Training Academy (Depot) in Regina, Saskatchewan.
As an IPTP Candidate you'll learn:
- How to work as part of a policing team
- An introduction to the Criminal Code and RCMP policy
- Physical fitness and drill
- Skills to help prepare you to apply to be a police officer
While at Depot, RCMP regular members are with the Indigenous IPTP Candidates 24/7. They provide a full spectrum of support including accommodating any dietary restrictions.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, our paramount concern has been for the health and safety of our IPTP Candidates and those attending the academy as we continue to implement best practices in collaboration with provincial and federal health authorities.

To apply you must be:
- of Indigenous descent (First Nation, Inuit or Métis)
- aged 19 to 29
- a Canadian citizen
