And the big thing for potential reserve MPs to remember is they will have no badge and no peace officer status unless they qualify for and eventually take the necessary reg force MP training AND get employed on a Class B or C tasking requiring that status.

Stove piping the postings by elemental uniforms would be perhaps the easiest however with our recruiting system the way it is I wonder if we'd be able to hire enough "air" logisticians or "sea" logisticians (for example) when we need them.  Its certainly cheaper then changing someone's uniform...

Maybe I'm missing something here but y'all make it sound like army logisticians will only be posted to army units while air and navy logisticians will only be posted to their elemental units.  Every time I've deployed there has been a good mix of drivers or supply types conducting the DPs and...

Well its safe to say that would be COA #1

My family and I have given up more then enough over the length of my career.  I don't think we should be expected to give up home ownership as well.

I see the point with people who make that statement however I see a big flaw with it.  Canadian society is made up of people who are born into it or, in some cases, immigrate to it.  People live their lives within the confines of the law and their personal morals and values.  When those two...

It really is a non issue when you break it down.  Pardons only matter for those offences that give you a criminal record.  That is why one must go through the Parole Board since they are the national agency mandated to handle all pardon requests. In your post you mention someone having been...

Addictions are tough that's for sure.

Thats not really uncommon.  A number of things could have taken place.  As you note, it could be that the news was just released.  It could be the traffic stop lead them to do further investigation and perhaps some surveillance.  It could be that given the nature of what they may or may not have...

So what would stop China from buying them and then selling them to the Russians?  Isn't this essentially how China got its carrier?  Bought it through a "private sale" to be used as a floating casino but those plans changed quick enough.

I'm sure there are others but from what I've heard it mostly "those who shall not be named" and the MPs that use either of those.

Yes, I understand but my underlying comment still stands that in many cases the primary charge is dropped and they go with the secondary charge, even at summary trials.

Nope, they are not different from province to province however that doesn't mean all hospitals observe or interpret the privacy laws and such the same.  It could be that your MIR sent someone to a civilian hospital in which case they would know and would notify the Unit so the member was not...

Yep, stuff like that happens all the time and it depends upon what the Crown wants to spend the time and money on prosecuting and and the various elements of the offences being tried.  Very often (all too often if you ask my opinion) the Crown will negotiate with the Defence in order to make the...

Which is why it astounds me when I hear Drapeau et al go on and on about how all suicides should be investigated by civilian police regardless of where they occur.  They will only investigate it as far as any potential crime wrt the death is concerned and not in any way as to why an individual...

First off, that Act only applies to Ontario and no, MP have never been included in it because MP are not extra-provincial within the scope of this Act.  They exist on every Base in Ontario.  Those MP that are posted outside of Ontario ARE extra-provincial within the scope of the Act however it...

At one time all WO ranks received a formal warrant of appointment according to an article I've read somewhere.  I wish I could find it again but I'll keep looking.  I believe around the time of unification it was changed so that only CWOs received a warrant of appointment because it was felt...

I'm sure the Unit was made aware that the Member was transported to the hospital and left in their care however the Unit has no idea how long the Member is going to be there or when they could be released.  They could be held 24 hours, 72 hours or even much longer if the Doctors deem it...

Its a civilian hospital and they have no obligation to allow any sort of "escort" for the individual.  And the MPs didn't "call for an observation" and in fact they no authority under any of the Provincial Mental Health Acts.  While most Mental Health Acts refer to "police" and their...

I'm sure an SI will be conducted however there is nothing that can be done to stop someone from leaving hospital after a mental health call.  Unless they have been formed, once the physician and mental health folks deem an individual can be released then the person is free to go.  Privacy Act...
