Book - Faces of the Force: True Stories of C-1966/67 Troop

PILLARS OF THE FORCE : FACES OF THE FORCE

In conjunction with the pending launch of Pillars of the Force, we are pleased to partner with The RCMP Heritage Centre to help “The Centre” deliver on its mission “to share the story of the RCMP with the world.”

Faces of the Force: True Stories of C-1966/67 Troop by Helen Metella and Pamela Cowan is a collection of thirty-one stories about one troop who together endured the physical and emotional challenges of training at “Depot,” and developed a sense of camaraderie and determination before graduating and heading out to their first detachments across Canada. It provides a firsthand look at training in the1960’s and the members’ individual experiences and careers. They encountered both triumph and tragedy; some remained, others sought different career paths. And, like so many before and after them, they never forgot the lessons they learned or what it means “to serve and protect.”
