American Cops vs Canadian Cops 

Do you feel safe in the presence of police in the country you live in? Why/why not?

...did you not know that canada has actual cops, not just mounties? The whole country ain't the Yukon...

Not even joking, I live in British Columbia. I once got a speeding ticket from some RCMP. Me and the officer literally talked about life for 20 minutes, Then he gave me a reduction on the speeding ticket. Which I got out of.

The Canadian cops they had in this video were the RCMP, which is different from regular city police. RCMP are more federal based. the training RCMP go through is way different than regular cops.

Not all of our police wear red,we have the blue uniforms too

American cops go to Dunkin Donuts Canadian cops go to Tim Hortons

*_Canadians have politeness in their blood_*

I don’t know why they are talking about the RCMP when it is a federal job so was he not talk about the city cops Btw the RCMP does not ware red jackets and ride horses unless it’s a ceremony or a special event at a federal building. Maybe a national park as well

Can we stop with that annoying stereotype of red mounted officers from the far north of Canada?! We also have normal looking cops

Narrator: I'll let the expert takeover *Continues to speak like nothing happened* _Intelligence 100_

I'm sorry but Canadian police have badges as well y'know

As a police officer in Calgary, I make around 100 000 a year. You start at 60 00 to 70 000

I’m a RCMP officer and I operationally we don’t wear the red surge. That’s our dress uniform we wear like other police wear their dress blues. We are federal and handle homeland security but the majority of our work is front line uniform policing. We are responsible for most of the rural areas of Canada but also cover a few larger centers that would be considered “city policing”. We get posted much like military personal and are able to transfer across the country throughout our career. In 7 years I’ve competed 4 posts and plan on doing more. We also have a little more than 150 different sections in our organization with a mix of both front line and fed policing sections. We also don’t ride horses operationally. We drove cars and have a couple of motorcycle units in large centers. The only horses we have is for the musical ride. Which is a section you can get into but is only a performance section with a commitment of 3 years. A lot of people go in for a break from police work and then get back into it after their run in it. Our real uniform looks like any other police uniform really. We wear a duty shirt, either internal or external body armor. A duty belt and cargo pants with a yellow stripe. We work along side the city police a lot depending on how close our post is to a city that has a police service. We have a great relationship with other police organizations. Neither the RCMP or city force is better than one another. It’s just a different dynamic and if you want to settle into a city the city service is great. If you want to move around the RCMP has the opportunity. As for the community policing. It’s true. We do try to have a very good relationship with the public as it does build trust and makes our job easier. But we do have major and dangerous crimes. I’ve been involved in high risk situations involving firearms and weapons. I’ve been here involved in many homicide investigations and dealt with very dangerous people. But we do have world class training and make pretty good money to do what we do. Thanks for reading!!!

in canada there is a difference between RCMP and regular city police. the training and requirements are a lot different, and RCMP are far less common then average city cops. not to mention RCMP usually stick to doing things based federally, not locally like an average police officer.

Well. This makes Canada look pretty chill. Well..I’m pretty happy to live here

You’re comparing Canada’s federal police service to American city police. USA equivalent to the rcmp is the fbi

Nobody: Canadian cop: “I’m sorry”

I’m Canadian and I have never seen one of the police you showed in person. We have normal police that look the same as American

Cops in my tiny Canada town know everyone by first name basis and are pretty much the chillest people. Sometimes the ones fresh out of depo are mean and stand off-ish but they usually loosen up and mellow out before they have to move away and we get more new ones

I doubt the police officers in my town would be able to do that test again. All the cops in my town are at least 50 and probably over 300 lbs.

FBI : "FBI! OPEN UP!" Meanwhile in Canada, CPD : "We're sorry but will you open the door for us, buddy?"

Laugh all you want ..When you stand on the lawn of the Government buildings and can have a RCMP officer light your joint then you can laugh at the word freedom

The sad truth is people who work at Costco make 40 000$ a year

Imma come back later to read the American Vs Canadian comments 😂

Here are some statistics from Toronto Canada. Each class of constable represents 1 year of service. So after working for 5 years, your salary will be $98,452. Vastly higher than most if not all American counterparts. Toronto Police Service Base Salary Cadet in Training $62,009.42 4th Class Constable $68,915 3rd Class Constable $78,769 2nd Class Constable $88,614 1st Class Constable $98,452 Compensation and Benefits As a full-time employee of the Toronto Police Service you will be entitled to the following compensation and benefits: Family Health Care Plan, Family Dental Plan, Vision/Hearing Care, Pay Direct Pharmaceutical Card, Life Insurance, Paid Vacation, On-site fitness facilities, Access to the Employee Credit Union, Pension Plan (OMERS), Employee and Family Assistance Program, Parental/Maternity Leave.

The mounties dont ride horses well they do only at Ceremonies .

All I have to say is that I love being a CANADIAN 😊😊😊😊😊🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Please do Russian Cops vs Chinese Cops.

US cop: discharges weapon without question. Canadian Cop: gets in trouble for discharging his weapon

Speaking of mental health, I was in a treatment facility for PTSD in Ontario. When I arrived, a large contingent of police were being discharged but there were still a few there. There were also police dispatchers, soldiers etc. The point is, mental health is recognized as an issue in Canada. And in general, our universal insurance covers treatment. Depression, suicide, anxiety etc. are still issues in Canada, and there is still something of a stigma around it. But my experience is that the stigma is becoming less and people are more and more willing to seek treatment. I don't know how this compares to the US, but the fact that there were 4 suicides in the Capitol Police after the events of January 6 makes me think that more should be done there.

Well I suppose if American cops eat donuts then Canadian cops drink syrup

I guess neither of those cops tend to *cop-out*

America: GET ON THE GROUND!!!! Canada: I saw you go for a rip eh! Anyway I was told you were holding someone hostage so get on the ground eh or thing gonna be rough bud.

I m an international student in canada and I find police very humble and helpful. Love 🇨🇦

I'm Canadian and my neighbour unfortunately was killed by a cop a while ago! With an avg. of 15 a year, those odds are crazy...

American Cops vs. Canadian Cops

I live in Canada and last summer my friend and I were being a nuisance in our neighborhood and someone called the police on us. The police came to see what was going on; but my friend was afraid of the cops; so when the police walked into the house; my friend was already halfway out the window. For some reason he didn't climb all the way out of the window and leave; so the police were able to grab him. He had a criminal record and I didn't, and he got put in cuffs and put into the police car. Part of the reason he got cuffed was probably because he had a pair of scissors up his sleeve (he was VERY paranoid and always had some form of a blade with him). He had to sit in the car for an hour while the cops where figuring everything out; but then they decided to let him go. Funny story that I thought I'd share.

Let’s be honest..... Canada has better cops

*One Is armed with a Gun the other armed with Maple Syrup*

The more i learn about canada the more i fall in love with I hope one day i can immigrate to canada from India....... But then i'm still 16 years old

In Québec to become a cop you need to get a 3 year college degree. After that it's a 15 week training at the academy.

You totally missed a very important part of the wage comparison. Since Canada has universal health care you have yo take that into consideration. That'll mean another hundred thousand to the Canadian wage

INFOGRAPHIC VS BRIGHT SIDE

20 pushups within a minute? Sounds Legit

I know 2 people who’s are police officers here in Canada and they both had to have great high school marks and then do 4 years of university in crime school before even becoming a police officers with a starting salary of like $60K

0:38 😂😂😂 "you wanna be a cop, what means you've done your research, *you watched the wire* " 😂😂 it's hilarious, because he says it in such a series tone.😂😂

Canadians have better uniforms and maple syrup, eh?

We Canadians have forgiveness in our blood 🇨🇦

Seeing cops on horses in Canada is very rare, when I went to Toronto last year, I saw one near a restaurant talking with other police officers on his horse, it was light brown and tall

I live in Canada and I’ve seen rcmp officers once we have way more cops

American: *shoot* *shoot* FREEZE! Canadian: Excuse me stop!

The interview process for Canadian cops is brutal. You can apply at 18, but don't expect to get in until you are at least 21. And almost no one gets in on their first application; they want to see that you are determined.

i like how for canada he only foucused on the rcmp

I hate how people think that’s what Canadian cops actually look like Canadian cops dress like normal cops in Canada the people wearing the red suits are actually called Mounties that live in the north of Canada

Canadian cops: "Sorry I had to pull you over, eh." *Badguy sneezes* American cops: "He's got a gun!"

Cops arrested a polar bear outside my igloo once. Trying to steal my maple syrup. 😂

When almost everything is a crime, you have higher crime rates.

literally none of the police in Canada are Mounties. Mounties are more like sheriff's but you don't see them everyday

Canadian cops give jaywalking tickets saying "Cross the street carefully." 👍💪❤️

Make next pls: German cops vs Austrian cops . ;)

As a Canadian now boy things have changed when they were describing us in the first 2 minutes lol

My dad got stopped for speeding by the RCMP. The officer talked with him for a bit, emphasized safety, then gave him the lowest speeding ticket he could.

It depends where you are in Canada too. Cops in the 6 and in Vancouver are pretty hardass, and have to be with all the guns and gangs. In the prairies especially, theres major racial tension between cops and aboriginal people. Being a cop in Canada isn't a walk in the park.

American cops: he was like pew pew pew, so I pew pew pew him Canadians cops (Canadian here): How’s your day sir/ma’am? Can I see your licence and registrations please?

As you said, it depends where you work, but municipal and provincial law enforcement salaries for years 0-5 range from 80-98k/year. More if you're specialized. The RCMP pays less, but the bonuses and subsidiaries such as housing, vehicle and living expenses are covered due to you being willing to work across Canada. Same with other federal agencies such as the CBSA, CSIS or CFMP, or the rail police like CNPS or CPPS

I've never seen a Canadian cop ride a horse

-The Canadian Cops talk a lot more-

The Canadians will always apologize when they send you to court.

One shoots you The other one doesn't

I live in quebec since the day i was born and still is living here and can already confirm none of our cops are on horses and have blue suits also, none of them looking like woody from toys story

American police ride in cars, while Canadian police ride on Mooses.

I'm an indian studying the US. Recently I had been to an event far away from where I stay and my phone died on the way. I couldn't book uber. I talked to an american cop and he booked a cab for me. It was late at night and yet he didn't bail. The cop was very polite to me. I must say US cops are stereotyped as violent but not all of them are. Some of them,like the cop that helped me are really law enforcers. ✌️

If anyone was wondering, the death rates mentioned (15 per year and 1000 per year) adds up to about 4.2*10^-5% (0.000042%) of the population for Canada and 3.12*10^-4% (0.000312%) of the population for the U.S. based on reported 2015 populations. I had gone to the trouble of doing the math for myself, so thought I'd share.

In Canada the RCMP only uses horses for ceremonial purposes, in addition red coats are dress uniforms for RCMP active duty uniforms are very similar to that of provincial/territorial and municipal police

The little kid that told his little friend: "Oh, man, I was afraid you were a cop!" 😆😆😆😂😂😂😄😄😄😂😂😂 8:36

As a Canadian... that rcmp cop in the thumbnail makes me mad

What if I did hits for the Russian mafia

Its funny in the army i was told that this is how we react to someone use the same force that they use and no more so if they throw a rock you throw one back and nothing more as a cop i was told use one force over them they punch you use your baton or taser they use a weapon use your gun why are we more aggressive to are own people than to the enemy in a war im confused

nobody: canadian cop: *shoots with maple syrup* canadian cop: *s o r r y*

I’m from Canada and I once did something... illegal on the Internet and I got reported for it. The police eventually found me eight months later and, I gotta tell you... I was supposed to be arrested that day, but they didn’t. They [detectives] instead took my phone to find evidence of what I’ve done and what else I’ve done. They returned my phone after three months and never charged me with/for anything. If I was in the US, this would’ve been a whole different story. I love you, Canada 🇨🇦

Some amarican: tries to push me Me: MAPLE SYRUUUUUUUUUUP WAVE!!!!!!!

I’m Canadian and When I was in grade 4 police officers came every month and they gave kids police stickers In grade 5 they changed that they only give stickers to kindergartens and they also had 1 police officers always at the elementary schools In middle school there’s 2 cops in the middle school In high school there’s 6-8 officers patrolling the area and 4-6 officers in the high school building And at high school I feel pretty safe

The Canadian looks terrified on the thumbnail I prefer Canadian cops.

*welp moving to canada*

As a Canadian, I can tell you that most cops don't ride horses and wear the red uniforms. They have vests and the same type of police cruisers as American Cops. You only see RCMP officers wearing red uniforms during ceremonies. The RCMP is more of a federal police force, sort of like the FBI. Most suburbs, smaller towns, and metro areas have the RCMP, but larger cities like Toronto, Calgary, Montral, and Vancouver have their own municipal police departments.

5:59 Why do you just make the Mounties in their red surge and on a horse? You know they actually only look like that in graduation and parades or funerals. And they stopped using horses in service on 1936 only in parades. They actually have a police uniform and a car. They don’t patrol on horses!

The thumbnail says everything.

State troopers get paid well. For example, In the first year for a Texas State trooper, they get paid 70k.

Idk how it is for the other provinces in Canada but I know that in Quebec, being a police officer is one of the jobs with the most demand and so to actually go into the police officer academy they’ll take people with the highest grades. And by high I mean really high, our school told us people with 85% average were getting refused cause it was too low

Memes then: Shoot first, ask questions later Memes now: When a country finds oil USA: I diagnose you with terrorism

Kinda a forgot to mention a important detail like the fact the US has 10 times the population but hey whatever pick and choose what facts you use

Love the video but canadian cops starting wage is any where from 73thousend to 80 thousand

I like the concept of enforcing the law, but I’m not the kind of guy that likes sport and physical education a lot.

In Quebec (provincial or municipal police force), you have to do a 2 years course (CÉGEP - technique policière or TP) followed by a 450 hours course to be a police officer. You have to study more at Nicolet college to do anything more (e.g. investigation, etc). Police officers are often back to the academy.

Canadian police will say sorry after arresting you.

I have spotted a fairly major issue. You chose the American municipal or state police but the Canadian Federal police. THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE! The American municipal or state police would pull you over and give you a ticket while the Canadian RCMP is more comparable to the "FBI" as they do larger crimes such as shootings or mass murdurs (which fun fact are very rare in Canada) and the RCMP wouldn't give you a speeding ticket. A more appropriate comparison would have been Canadian municipal or Provincial police such as the OPP. Sorry for pointing that out. (An other fun fact, municipal and provincial cops in Canada drive CARS and wear "normal" police attires) Best regards, 🇨🇦

I've lived in Canada for 30 years and I've never seen a Mountie...

I visited Toronto once. I was out with some guys looking for a certain club and asked a female cop for directions. She put her hand on my chest and just started walking me backwards, it was so surreal and uncalled for given I had just asked for directions, so I gently removed her hand from my chest and as soon as I did two male cops lifted me off my feet throwing me on the hood of their police cruiser and started yelling at me that “you never touch an officer!” I just threw my hands up and said “hey look I didn’t want any problems I was just asking for directions.” They picked me up and told me to move on. Most bizarre inappropriate experience I’ve ever had with the police and it was in Canada.
