The session, titled "AMA Tuesday," included welcoming remarks and New Year wishes to viewers across multiple streaming platforms. A significant portion of the discussion was dedicated to acknowledging the tragic loss of a fellow officer, Greg, who was hired through the recruitment process discussed. Speakers shared condolences for his family and colleagues. The conversation then shifted to recruitment and future classes, mentioning January, May, and September intakes, with projections to hire close to 140 new recruits per class. Minimum requirements for application were detailed, covering age, residency status (Canadian citizen or permanent resident with proof of application), education, driver's license status (G license required), criminal record, language proficiency (English), CPR/First Aid certification, and passing medical, psychological, security, financial, and physical fitness assessments (specifically the 20-meter shuttle run). Specific questions addressed included whether provincial fitness tests (like PEI's PEI) are accepted (they are not), and advice for candidates who did not pass the interview stage, encouraging them to show growth and reapply after one year.
