Summary
"The Community Cadet Corps (CCC) is a program for youth that, in Saskatchewan, is supported
by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) "F" Division. It is intended to provide youth
with discipline, responsibility, respect, and entertainment in order to help them develop the skills
and tools they need to build positive futures for themselves and the communities in which they
live. The mission of the CCC is: integrity, honesty, professionalism, compassion, accountability,
and respect.
The purpose of the current evaluation is to provide the RCMP "F" Division with an
understanding of the processes, outputs and, where appropriate, measurable outcomes of the
CCC program in Saskatchewan. Specifically, the evaluation will focus on examining the factors
that facilitate the successful implementation of CCCs, how the program has led to the building of
partnerships between communities and the RCMP, the perceived impacts of the program on
youth and communities, and the factors that contribute to the sustainability of the program."--Introduction.
