Just a random curiosity. Do Canadian Police Forces tend to Recruit the Officers (as in inspectors and up) separate, like CF system, or are they all/mostly promoted up from the NCO ranks?
There's only one stream in virtually Canadian Police Departments.
While officers may move between departments, and some will keep their rank, you must have been a Constable, Cpl (if applicable) Sgt, etc to make Inspector.

I read somewhere (can't recall where) that RCMP members may split at the corporal level or above, i.e. from corporal they either move into the commissioned ranks or carry on to sergeant, staff sergeant, etc. So while all members start as constables, one need not go all of the way to the top of the NCO ranks before becoming a commisioned officer.
