Cst. Meinzinger answers a question on why she joined the force.

"Oh, I guess I sort of...It's the National Police Force and it's so highly regarded. I mean, you think about when you travel around the world - people know who we are.

They KNOW - They know what the Mounties are, they know what the RCMP is.

They may not know everything - they may think that we still ride around on horses in our red jackets, but...It's just the Pride."
