The RCMP seem to be the only Police Training course
in Canada that offers their own driver training.
Its not as long as a UK's PL1 course or as intensive.
They do prefer/insist on 'pull-push' steering

Ontario & Quebec are the only Provinces that have a
Provincial Police Force = OPP and QPP, and train their
own Police Force drivers.
The RCMP are a federal Police Force and are also contracted to various towns, cities & rural areas
across the nation.
It would seem that many of the other Police Forces throughout the country are trained by private driving organisations on a contract basis.
There are several organisations that purport to teach advanced driving training, but not to the standard that UK advanced drivers receive. These Schools all teach off road courses, there being no public road driving, believe this to be due to high Insurance, which would increase their fees.
Each School have their own syllabus, and as far as I'm aware there is no Provincial or National standard.
Hope this helps those that are interested in what N.A has as far as advanced driving goes.
