That may be true, but they're the self proclaimed procurement experts (with a monopoly on the business) of the GoC. They should be fixing those poorly defined requirements by sending it back to whomever for rework before proceeding with another procurement debacle. Because they're the experts.

Have you seen our pistol procurement? :ROFLMAO: The common denominator here is Public Service and Procurement Canada. If I was king for a day I'd Elon the f*** out of them.

If I've learned anything from being in Surrey during this debacle, its that nobody, not a single person at all gives a single f*** what the people doing the actual work at the coal face think, do, or experience on a daily basis. No our own management, our union, the City, the Province, the...

Lots of good points here for sure, I can't quote them all so I'll just make some more general points. Local policing in Canada can definitely happen without the RCMP, my point here is more how does the Federal Government sell the idea of new police forces to the provinces. I think one of those...

And one more thought before I call it a night. If we divest all contract policing, where are Mounties going to learn to do the basic, foundational policing that leads to most of the skills used in the higher levels on investigation? I'm not saying they won't be able to, but it won't be easy.

Whew, where to start? First of all, you guys must have a mole in my office. My penchant for caffeine that's cold and in a can has been laid bare, and my efforts to quit chew with nicotine pouches is downright depressing at times... I digress. I find the soon to be former Prime Minister's...

I don't work for Air Services so can't speak specifically to that, but where did you hear this? We have aircraft older than 7 years in our inventory in E Division, I can tell you that with absolute certainty. I can also tell you we also have a policy of 160,000kms or 10 years whichever comes...

Fair enough. I can tell you there's enough former Reg or active PRes people around in the RCMP that the actual deployment of the M2 .50 or C6 or another similar crew served weapon wouldn't actually be a challenge, and considering what's 3-4kms behind the target wouldn't be an issue. There's...

Why not?

Without getting too far into it, and with the disclaimer of I worked only a very small, but busy slice of the border; The Americans lie to a lot of the people who cross their borders about how we will provide a job and a car and welfare etc. They are shocked and disappointed when they're...

In case anybody is wondering how un-serious we are about Border Integrity: I am in Surrey Detachment. I have applied 4 times to Border Integrity, and been denied for one reason or another. (usually the fact they don't want me to leave the contract policing side of the RCMP) I worked in a...

In all of my experiences with CBSA (and my patrol zone contained two of their busiest land crossings, nationwide) the front line members are good, hungry and capable, its the managerial risk aversion that hamstrings them badly.

My troop mate's first post out of Depot was Pukatawagan, Manitoba. His welcome to the community was his arrival flight into his new post being shot at by a local with an SKS. Wild.

Depends who you ask I guess, I inferred it from those same words that have been coming from his mouth...

I for one can't recall a single time in the last decade the words coming out of that man's mouth could have been considered helpful. He is the messiah. We are the ungrateful fringe minority, with unacceptable views.

Nothing to see here, move along.

They are policing all of Whalley (1), and frontline Newton (3) but not investigative support. We are still doing frontline Guildford (2) Cloverdale (4) and South Surrey (5) as well as all investigative support/specialized sections for 2, 3 (sort of), 4, and 5. So they're doing less than a third...

Surrey Police Service prepares to take command, ending years-long saga

Good for them. Their management is terrible (appointed from the PS not promoted from within), refuses to admit they're a law enforcement agency, runs screaming from any kind of liability and would significantly hamper the efforts of their largely awesome and hard working front line. Leave it...

What were these detractors? Or is it a whom?
