Man, that utter lack of support, demands for defunding and more levels of accountability and liability than probably any other profession in the country, most of which has accumulated over the last 20 years or so, really suck huh? The public doesn't have the stomach for the type of Police work...

Operation while Impaired. The definition was opened up from "motor vehicle" to "conveyance" in 2018 or so as more of a catch all for all the things people use to get around they shouldn't use while drunk. Did a file under that section for a sailboat that had run aground years ago. We ended up...

I am, for the first time in probably a couple years now, intensely proud to be a Mountie and have Duheme at the helm. I just hope this new found focus on Federal Policing and national security sticks around, and I can leave contract city policing behind and get to the actual reason I chose the...

Seems they're not.

For those of us not in the know, are you saying there's a non-zero number of our bespoke orphan fleet of unnamed maritime helicopters that will never fly again because of serious flaws that are irreparable and compromise flight safety despite the fact they're less than a decade old?

No specific reason I know of, probably the misinformed rumour I hear all the time that the RCMP Act requires it, or perhaps a personal taste thing for that officer. Hasn't been an issue for me yet, and I plan to try and keep that record going.

I'm under explicit orders from a senior commissioned officer in my chain to "identify yourself as a member in any interaction with Police off duty" I've never had to deal with this, but it sits uneasy with me. My plan, should the need arise, is to state "I am required by my line officer to...

Vancouver says hold my beer: Victim of Vancouver stranger attacks had surgery to reattach severed hand: police

I got shouted down by a regular contributor here for suggesting such a thing only months ago. May the odds be ever in your favour.

Should work out, right after the budget balances itself. Right? Guys?

Man I asked for the Arctic out of Depot. I got Surrey. It's called shafting instead of staffing for a reason.

I for one truly enjoyed signing into my PC on the block that included working Christmas Eve as well as Christmas night to see some genius had sent a Division wide email telling "anybody left working on this last day before holidays" to go home and spend time with their families, meant for the HQ...

RCMP Commissioner says Force ready to facilitate end of contract policing with lessons learned from Surrey That's a hot take given how hard they've fought to retain Surrey, to the point of ruining member's careers... But hey, our actual reason to exist is Federal Policing and we barely do...

Mods I feel like there's enough of a tangent going here with fruitful discussion for a split, but I'll leave that to you. A couple thoughts, now there been some more opinion sharing here: I completely agree patrol officers should not be showing up to routine calls for service in full battle...

Have you had an opportunity to figure out what the risk is of my wearing appropriate PPE in appropriate situations?

I've seen one set. Regrettably, still in that god awful carrier that refuses to stay put and renders the plate nearly useless by falling out of position even when sized and worn properly.

Nobody overdoes something like the RCMP when their pp gets smacked. There are lighter plates available, but the fact of the matter is every car is supposed to have a set of plates (where I'm at they do) but members rarely wear them for any one of a variety of reasons and NCO's don't enforce it...

Risk of what? I'm asking for a blue shirt, no bright yellow stripes on my pants, a pistol that doesn't break in my holster, and some basic PPE that's mandatory in less dangerous professions...

That's fine, but as a "beat cop" I've been: hit in the head with a hammer (would have liked a helmet) chased gun runners crossing into Canada at night through a mix of forested area and farmer's field with long ranges (would have liked NVG's and a IR laser on my C8) been in an armed and...
