At the RCMP Academy in the City of Regina in Saskatchewan, Canada, a graduation ceremony is about to take place where the high ranked officers present the awards. Chairs have been set out below the mass of colorful flags where the officers await the Sargeant Major's Parade and Graduation Ceremony.
Members of the RCMP Academy who wear the red jackets and brown stetson hats are very high in the ranks of officers but have not quite reached the levels of the other officers.
