Summary:
"On July 3, 1961, Ian Parsons reported to
RCMP
Depot Division in Regina as a raw recruit. It was the beginning of a 33-year adventure that took him from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island and many points between. By the time he retired with the rank of inspector, Parsons had a policeman's trunk full of colourful stories and insightful observations that he now shares in this memoir. Parsons writes candidly of his many roles within the
RCMP
, from postings in rural detachments, where he dealt with diverse policing issues, to stints teaching at the Canadian Police College in Ottawa and at the
RCMP
Academy in Regina. Always an independent thinker, Parsons lectured sometimes-resistant
RCMP
senior officers on the adoption of new ways and helped introduce programs to modernize recruit training and make it more relevant to the demands of a rapidly changing Canadian society. In recent years, Parsons has observed the troubled state and tarnished reputation of his beloved force as it faces crisis after crisis. Against the entertaining backdrop of his
life
in red serge, he gives a thoughtful assessment of things gone wrong in the iconic institution and identifies the drastic steps necessary to save it."--From publisher.
