Everybody is getting discounts these days. I would argue for a first time offender that sentence is both standard and reasonable whether a soon to be former police officer or not.

I also feel sympathy, but admittedly very little. Despite making very good money, I'm priced out of the market right now mostly for reasons beyond my control. I need a correction, at least a small one, to make any progress. But I'll also allow my tolerance for risk is pretty low and it is, as...

We're in violent agreement. Pair that with banks and the government keeping interest rates artificially low and not only enabling but encouraging Canadians to take extreme amounts of debt while printing boatloads of cash and I foresee a very big back blast on this. I am in no way shape or form...

"It's not like we're struggling for work or anything. We make good money. We have good jobs, but it's just, we want to be able to live our lives and not be putting every dollar toward a mortgage" Sounds like a sob story as of this line to me. You overspent, you took the risk of a variable rate...

And another thread, devolved into dress and deportment. We're right on schedule, gents.

The issued toque is actually a running joke in the force, it took years to roll out, required multiple surveys and yet is somehow universally reviled from coast to coast and even up north where they claimed it was designed for. It looks like a deflated jellyfish on your head. There's a couple...

I should clarify my comment about the members being frustrated is over the experienced police officer hiring program, every one of those newly hired members get their choice of post, or specialty depending on their previous history. And while I know its not as simple as "I want that job so it...

Say goodbye to GD hiring if that's the case, there's so many members who endure the slog of GD and contract positions to get a shot at that higher level investigating and specialty work... Oh I can skip having to deal with mental health crisis and the public and their problems and a dose of...

The new block training package does a pretty good job of giving members some techniques to get back on their feet and/or get control, but like Booter said these skills are useless without the time to practice, of which there is none.

Texts with 15-year-old girl at centre of early investigation into Surrey, B.C. police officer before his death Yeah so not at all what I expected from him. He was a member of the same PRes unit as I am, a watch mate when he was a Mountie and had been assigned by SPS to my same watch and...

19-year-old firefighter struck and killed by fallen tree while clearing brush Terrible news out of Revelstoke.

Mendicino's call for RCMP to ban neck restraint not backed up by evidence: external panel Huh, who'd have thought emotion driven policy driven by the events of the moment aren't a good idea after all? Isn't this the party that claimed they would be driven by science, evidence and transparency?

I think back to my application to join the RCMP where there was a check box for are you or do you identify as a woman, person of colour, visiblie minority, LGBTQ etc. on the initial application. I wonder, if digging got done on Government of Canada hiring in the last decade, what might be found...

I think the Province may have tipped their hand on this one, they took six months to sort themselves out and produce a report that recommended SPS move forward and when council voted to the opposite of their "recommendation" they throw a tantrum and demand a report within a single business day...

Depends on who you ask and how much skin they have in the game.

I'm not sure, and quite frankly I don't think anybody knows. I'm absolutely confident the city and its lawyers are looking to dispose of SPS in the most cost and litigation free way they can manage. Personally this has worked out great for me as I've just gotten an opportunity off of General...

City of Surrey to retain RCMP as Police of Jurisdiction

I can't speak to the MP's, but in the RCMP animals can be dispatched if they're wounded or present a threat to human life. Call the Conservation Officers to deal with the remains. No UoF paperwork required.

I'd settle for a helmet that isn't nearly as old as I am and being issued armour of any kind for the first time in my 11 year career. Not holding my breath.

You understand correctly. I have the 5.11 shirts for instructing. Magical.
