Are you or a youth you know interested in learning about policing in your community? Youth leadership development? Public speaking? Conflict resolution skills? If so, Halifax District RCMP has the program for you!

The RCMP Stetsons & Spurs program is made up of youths grade 7-12 who assist their local communities while helping to make them a safe place to live.

Stetsons & Spurs members achieve this through participation in Operation Hawkeye (placement of flyers reminding motorists to keep vehicle doors locked and valuables out of sight), marching in parades, participating in community events and learning about how to become a police officer in the RCMP.

Halifax District RCMP have Stetsons & Spurs programs currently in Cole Harbour, Preston and Lower Sackville and registration for these programs is just around the corner.
