I think as time goes on we will see an improvement in technology for the Oral fluid devices, however right now I don't see most major Police services headed towards buying many. There have been many documented issues with the selected device. False positives, false negatives, wont work below 5...
Sadly its not the cost of the OT its finding a place that we can do actual evaluations on people. At this time there is no where in Canada that allows us to do this. There are two jails in the U.S.A. that allows the DRE course to continue, so not as much the money, as it is trying to find...
Having being first on scene to several gun calls and more stabbings then I want to count anymore, I can tell you right now that if I see a gun I am out of the area quick. The first time I was at a gun call the would be shooter was about 15 feet away from me and my partner. We got behind a car...
Your right I was with my Reg Force partner. From what I understand our guys were running plates and all that kinda good stuff. We were dressed in CADPAT as the branch wont allow us to wear OPD's. That being said there were several pairings of just Res MP's walkin around all gunned up.
Baton/Browning with duty gear in Cold Lake for the Air Show. Unfortunately my Reg Force Partner and I were put in a MILCOT for the weekend so I didnt get the change to use SAMPIS, although other members of my unit had that opportunity.
Powers of arrest fall under the Security Guard part of the NDA or Sec 494 of the CC. Last time I worked with the Regs I was carrying a browing and a baton. We were going to carry OC but again the Res. Side of the house doesn't know how long a real use of force course is and they didn't book it...
Woah that wasn't just a shot at us traffic junkies was it :P
But seriously even though Ive had limited experience in the CF (4 years MP Res) I want to put my $.02 in. First off a background on myself. I finished my policing diploma two years ago have worked for UofA 5-0 and West Edmonton...
In reference to your Res QL3 MP course I took the course in 2002. The course has been changed as of this year and it was ddefiantlychanged for the better. It is now broken up into 2 different phases. Phase one consists of the "army" policing or field work. So traffic control, route...
You wont have to do the Poly for the Reserves or Reg force(as far as I know). I would not doubt that soon you will have to do the poly as most major police forces in Canada use it.
From what I understand most of the Reg guys have a "policing" diploma from either college‘s or university‘s. Im not sure if you need it for sure but I would talk to your recruiter and ask.
No, 15 MP Coy is not attached to any reserve service battalion. They may use your facitlites but thats the only connection. Our formation is 1 ASG(Reg Force).
My turn :cool:
I‘ve been a MP(Reserve) for almost 2 years now so I can only give you what we train for on reserve side of house. We are "field cops" dealing with PW‘s(yea there is no "O" anymore) stragglers, refugees, traffic control, route signing and route recce‘s. Those are our main...
