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?

Having been part of a number of "why aren't our (reserve) troops volunteering for Op LENTUS?" conversations now, I would also be strongly in favour of a Domestic Service medal. Say 30 days combined on a named domestic op, non-continuous so multiple deployments can be recognized. I believe...

Man, that utter lack of support, demands for defunding and more levels of accountability and liability than probably any other profession in the country, most of which has accumulated over the last 20 years or so, really suck huh? The public doesn't have the stomach for the type of Police work...

Operation while Impaired. The definition was opened up from "motor vehicle" to "conveyance" in 2018 or so as more of a catch all for all the things people use to get around they shouldn't use while drunk. Did a file under that section for a sailboat that had run aground years ago. We ended up...

I am, for the first time in probably a couple years now, intensely proud to be a Mountie and have Duheme at the helm. I just hope this new found focus on Federal Policing and national security sticks around, and I can leave contract city policing behind and get to the actual reason I chose the...

Seems they're not.

For those of us not in the know, are you saying there's a non-zero number of our bespoke orphan fleet of unnamed maritime helicopters that will never fly again because of serious flaws that are irreparable and compromise flight safety despite the fact they're less than a decade old?

No specific reason I know of, probably the misinformed rumour I hear all the time that the RCMP Act requires it, or perhaps a personal taste thing for that officer. Hasn't been an issue for me yet, and I plan to try and keep that record going.

I'm under explicit orders from a senior commissioned officer in my chain to "identify yourself as a member in any interaction with Police off duty" I've never had to deal with this, but it sits uneasy with me. My plan, should the need arise, is to state "I am required by my line officer to...

Vancouver says hold my beer: Victim of Vancouver stranger attacks had surgery to reattach severed hand: police

I got shouted down by a regular contributor here for suggesting such a thing only months ago. May the odds be ever in your favour.

Should work out, right after the budget balances itself. Right? Guys?
