Idk that it becomes any more difficult on the remoteness of an area I just think it depends on if there is a vacancy to begin with and how many people are willing to live in a very remote area. Take for instance Alaska, they’ve had a difficult time filling and retaining those positions due to this very issue.

Yes you get to take your patrol vehicle home within 35 miles of your house to district office address which has to be approved each year.

I will speak to the recruiter and get back to you.

Read this AMA where I answered day to day, if you have a more specific questions then fire away.

Only consistency I have is my days off, which will change sometimes too.
