Straight out of training, RCMP officers almost always get posted to remote locations. Locations that nobody with any seniority will touch. These postings often require the new recruit to move - not just towns - but whole provinces away from their extended families. Throw in the cold, boring nature of these postings and what you get is a very bitter officer. One who is looking to pad their resume and move up the ranks and get out. It's also common for officers to be internally disciplined in this way; The best cops get the most prestigious postings, and the worst get the opposite (just like Catholic priests). (To be clear, I have no idea if this is true in this case - it's more of a generalization)
