That's what they said in Surrey, and now my watch has more SPS members than RCMP.

I agree with that. Big city lights and siren driving, to me, is to use them to get people to get out of your way, not drive along at ludicrous speeds hoping everybody has seen and heard you. Most drivers are oblivious, and most vehicles so soundproofed they can't hear your siren even if they are...

Getting awfully sick of hearing about dead cops. Strathcona County RCMP officer dies in collision northeast of Edmonton

And again we fall into the issue of not being able to impose a solution on them, but every attempt to help being looked at with a justifiably jaded point of view.

I suspect there would be even more significant difficulties in recruiting for and establishing such a force, given it would almost certainly have to start under the supervision and mentorship of the RCMP, which has it's own baggage as far as relations with Indigenous peoples.

I hope wholeheartedly that what you have to say is true. I strongly believe there is a balance to be struck between the benefits of the RCMP, national standardization etc of the Police forces and the local touch municipal forces bring to the table. EDIT: Grammar

He went elsewhere, having listened to the recruiter and was hired by a Muni on his first attempt. That was my understanding having spoken to this facilitator. No troop would go ahead unless the make up was meeting the desired numbers for diversity. I agree with you, because I made it through...

I'll generally agree, but I also have first hand info from a former colleague of mine where a family friend's son, who would be the third generation of RCMP from that family and who has catered his entire young adult life to a job with the force was straight up told by an unnamed E Division...

Surrey is an A/Comm, 2-3 C/Supt's. probably 6-8 Supts and more Insp than you can shake a stick at, most of whom have been in the same Detachment most if not all of their careers and need to leave. That's why they sign their emails like that.

I once suggested to a Staff Sergeant Major in a new member meet and greet for one of my recruits that I thought the emails signed off "Senior Management Team" struck me the wrong way as I and other members expected leadership, not management. And also that management suggested they were just...

Why couldn't the Armoured Corps get this as a crew helmet instead of that abomination bike helmet that was rolled out? As far as uncovered ears, having suffered a fair amount of hearing loss and permanent tinnitus from my time in, I'd be much happier with a helmet designed to integrate active...

Fair enough.

This one was going to keep going until we found and stopped the shooter, who was changing clothes and location constantly. It was an hours long hunt. Langley homeless community 'living in fear' after deadly shooting, says advocate

Politicians only spend money on what will get them votes. I suppose "voters" would have been a better word to use.

The report spends an awful lot of time talking about the RCMP's failures, and no time talking about how the politicians who held the purse strings that could have paid for all of those capabilities refused to spend that money on the RCMP. The RCMP owns some blame for not doing more to secure...

Amazing how quickly we went from "the Police are all racist thugs, the people they deal with are all victims and you can't believe a word out of their (police) mouths" to "huh, maybe they weren't the problem all along".

Can we get these guys in on naming the CSC's and getting buy in from the involved nations and other groups?

This is what I was getting at.

Typo on this end, not the search end.

Even more telling of where this Government is headed is the fact I Googled the exact title of this news story so I could forward it on to some friends and there wasn't a single Canadian news story with regard to Hong or the allegations shown to me by Google. A handful of completely unrelated...
