On Sept 2, the RCMP welcomed four Aboriginal men onto the force. Darrell Stranger, David Aglukart, Brian Harris and Chris Rothecker were also participants in the Aboriginal Cadet Development Program.

The program is aimed at assisting Aboriginal people who may not meet the RCMP minimum requirements. Disadvantages in various aspects include: driver training, education and/or physical ability. These drawbacks are due, in large part, to the isolated areas in which Native people live and their inaccessibility to academic and other facilities.
