French:    • "J'ai des gens dans toute la Saskatchewan ...   --- (Superintendent Grant St. Germaine) My name is Superintendent Grant St. Germaine. I’ve got 46 years service in the RCMP, and I am currently the Officer in Charge of Traffic Services CTSS for the Province of Saskatchewan. I also act for the CROPS Officer and at times I’ve acted for Commanding Officer, so different roles that I’ve got to do. I chose the RCMP because of the long history in the RCMP. My dad had been in the RCMP, my grandfather had been in the RCMP. I’d like to say I always wanted to be a Mountie, I think it was always something I had in the back of my mind. Probably the biggest things I take away from the career is the ability to be able to work with communities, make communities safe. I’m very much into community policing. And the idea that you’re part of the community. And I go back to a thing that my dad told me when I first joined the force and dad said that you’re only as good as the community wants you to be. And when you think about that, putting it into perspective. If you don’t know your community, if you don’t know the people in the community, people in the community don’t know you. I’ve got folks all over Saskatchewan that, oh yeah, there’s that black truck again. And I guess that’s the RCMP and they, the farmers and folks I talk to, as far as rank, they have absolutely no idea. But the fact that I’m a Superintendent or a Constable, they don’t know any difference. All they are looking at is the yellow stripe. It’s a policeman out there doing something and so they’re happy that they see the police and it works out well for me and it works out well for them. (Inspector Ashley St. Germaine) My name is Ashley St. Germaine and I am Grant’s daughter. I have been in the RCMP since I graduated from Depot January 24, 2005, and I am the Sergeant in Charge of Prince Albert Provincial General Investigation Section. The one thing that I might say is he’s just been so committed to the RCMP for such a long time and he takes so much pride in his work and doing a good job for whoever he works for and supporting the people that work for him and I think that any benefit that I’ve had from him being my dad in the RCMP, he’s passed on to other people within the organization tenfold. (Chief Superintendent Ted Munro) He is my mentor. If I have any issues, it’s the first person I reach out to. And, when you talk about somebody that can mentor you in the world of police and they even mentor you in just being a good human being. You know, he reminds me so much of my grandfather and not because he ‘s old, so I’ll clarify that, but my grandfather is a lot like Grant. You know, gruff on the outside but had a heart of gold and would always do best to try and help people. You know, people just tend to gravitate to his leadership, decision making capabilities, they’re there. You know, that’s things that he mentors people underneath him. Don’t be afraid to make a decision. Don’t be afraid to – you know- change a decision and don’t be afraid to face the consequences. Stand up, make the decision if you believe it’s right and deal with the consequences. And I’ve watched Grant do that for as long as I’ve known him. He’s been able to take that and run with it and people gravitate, again, to his leadership and his ability too move things along. He makes you want to come to work and he makes you happy that you are part of a team. He truly is, I think, what the RCMP is, right? Like, I mean, just working with him, you feel like you’re almost part of a family and I wish more people had an opportunity to work with someone like Grant. It truly is an honour to work with him and see how much pride he has in the uniform, how much he takes back to the communities and the people that he works with and just every moment of what he does. He truly loves what he does and we all benefited from it just by working with him. (Superintendent Grant St. Germaine) For me is been an extremely rewarding career. Probably most people would have retired at 35 year’s service and I don’t know when I’m going to retire. I haven’t, kind of, thought about that yet, so, when it’s time, I’ll know its time. So, yeah.
