For this assignment, you will be writing a response to a fictional scenario in which a friend of yours challenges you about what you know regarding the RCMP.

The scenario

A friend of yours plans to pursue a career in policing, so you tell him that you are presently studying the RCMP in an online social studies course. It turns out that he has a strong opinion regarding the RCMP.

He tells you that he plans to work for the Vancouver Police Department as he doesn't like how the RCMP are organized. He tells you that a federal police force should not have control over provincial and local police forces. He tells you that no other country organizes their police into a "one-size-fits-all" solution. "It is absurd," he insists.

Your response

Write a multi-paragraph response to your friend's position, neither completely agreeing or disagreeing.
