The history of the Regiment is full of amalgamations, but very few of those units ever fought. The 6th Regiment (Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles) contributed members who fought in South Africa. The 7th, 29th and 102nd Battalions, Canadian Expeditionary Force fought in WW1, and the 28th Canadian...

I fight that battle every training day. North Langley to downtown Vancouver is usually a hour and a half plus commute, plus the $16-35 parking depending on if its an event night or not.

Trust me, I know objectively the way we do business is stupid and desperately needs to be changed. The BCR itself lives in a decrepit old building completely unsuitable for its purpose, and its nowhere near large enough. Half our vehicles and most of our POL are off site. But that place is a...

Is your plan to remove Armoured units from the reserves? The BCR has been armoured since WW2 and despite the fact the cap badge still says Duke of Connaught's Own Rifles, the Rifles part hasn't been part of the official name since the designation change. Its just the British Columbia Regiment...

They are, they're laser etched with RCMP GRC and the mounted rider.

Interesting, I'd have thought it would have been more recent. EDIT: Wikipedia would suggest (not a good source, I know) 2001 as an introductory date.

For a general service pistol maybe, but how long have the MP's carried a Sig as their duty pistol?

Meanwhile, the RCMP continues to drag ass through their own pistol procurement...

Fair enough, thanks. Just seems dumb to me that we would run things that way instead of just buying enough to do the job and extend the service life of all the airframes, but as you so helpfully pointed out we're not the ones writing the cheques. And this is definitely not the only part of the...

So how often to aircraft fly from one coast to the other? How many P-8's would we need to buy so the Squadrons wouldn't have to share?

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...

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...

Sounds exactly like something somebody who broke Canada would say.

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

Can confirm.

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...

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...

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...

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

'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?
