    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    As far as the investigation for sure, but I promise you you don't want some of our prima donna members showing up expecting a five star hotel and wifi connection to conduct their work between the hours of 9 and 5 only. Every year I deploy to the fires here in BC, and every year there's at least...

    Sexual Assault & Sexual Misconduct in the CF

    Further to Booter's point, the CSD itself has this in its introduction; 60 (1) The following persons are subject to the Code of Service Discipline: (d) subject to such exceptions, adaptations and modifications as the Governor in Council may by regulations prescribe, a person who, pursuant to...

    Trudeau Popularity - or not. Nanos research

    Sounds exactly like something somebody who broke Canada would say.

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    Pretty much. There's lots of nuance, but yeah.

    Hamas invaded Israel 2023

    There's a law enforcement intelligence bulletin in BC that get put out once a day with high profile investigations so everybody is aware of what's going on across the Province. As you would expect, this file made that bulletin, as did the offender's summary and most recent mug shot. I can...

    CAN Secur/Int Committee: Time to Fix RCMP Federal Policing pgm

    I can only speak to my area, but prior to our union and CBA the local munis would harvest newly trained Mounties with two years experience (two years being the cut off for when the RCMP could come after you for the cost of Depot if you quit) by the dozens for no other reason that the highest...

    CAN Secur/Int Committee: Time to Fix RCMP Federal Policing pgm

    Surrey police got a bunch of members from us and other forces by promising them the sun, moon and stars as far as pay and benefits and positions within the new police force. They also were advertised throughout their implementation as being a patrol focused, boots on the ground, community...

    CAN Secur/Int Committee: Time to Fix RCMP Federal Policing pgm

    When I joined in 2017 we were 147th nation wide in pay. We've since Unionized and had a collective agreement, so we're doing much better and come in at 53rd. The list is available here: Top 100 Police pay in Canada

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    'No more money for Surrey Police transition' BC Premier says Huh... who had the provincial government stuffing a Municipal police force down the throat of a municipality then refusing to deal with the repercussions on their bingo card? Anybody?

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    Off the top of my head, air services, emergency response teams, underwater recovery, explosives disposal, forensic identification. All integrated (multiple cities footing the bill and available on an as needed/when available basis) and/or provincially funded where I am.

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    Scientific WAG here. They'll always be in a juicy Fed spot and can never be moved without their permission, and can never be placed on the Contract side because they'll get themselves and others hurt and/or killed? Oh, and probably preference in promotions in those places because of those...

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    Ironically, the RCMP is being mobbed by people requesting remount out of SPS. Not surprisingly, we're taking almost every one of them. I'm aware of a couple that did too good a job burning the bridge on the way out who have been refused. Very frustratingly, all of them are refusing Surrey as a...

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    This would come as a surprise to literally none of us. Its not the boredom to be worried about, its the burnout. The RCMP used to sustain and grow Surrey Detachment with 4+ recruits per Troop out of Depot, plentiful positions off of the road available with very little time spent on the road...

    Transition to Municipal Police Force

    SPS members are quitting faster than they can be hired. SPS management continue to play silly games trying to assert their new Police force, making things worse for everybody on the road. RCMP members are done with it and just want to leave, but can't be replaced. Morale is at an all time low...

    More Than Half (56%) of Canadians Consider Canada’s Armed Forces to be Old and Antiquated

    As far as the Explorers go all I've seen is Police Interceptor models. Tahoe PPV's seem to be at a premium and so are generally going to highway patrol units in BC, and city Detachments are getting "fleet" Tahoes but not the ones with the uprated brakes etc. All have the cage in the back for...

    Updated Army Service Dress project

    The only reason it "lasts forever" is because nobody wears high browns on a regular basis unless a member is killed, and nobody gives a shit if they look good or not when they do wear them to said funeral because of the amount of work required to polish them. Hence they stay "polished" forever...

    More Than Half (56%) of Canadians Consider Canada’s Armed Forces to be Old and Antiquated

    I'll allow our vehicle turn over is quite high. I'll also say I've mostly only seen the fleets of a couple of our larger Detachments here in the Lower Mainland. I can say with absolute certainty if you get close to them, you'll see the absolute carnage of torn up decals, minor damage too...
