I recommend you refrain from posting such an asinine statements in the future. In Canada we (including DND) have these things called Privacy Laws, that would preclude the course of action you just suggested. To Interstate66 Aside from the person in question providing some sort of proof, this...

I think it's kind of hard to have a unique and easily definable culture, when successive governments and government led institutions are simultaneously trying to vigourously (shove down your throat) promote "multi-culturalism".

That's why I specifically stuck with Toronto  ;) Toronto doesn't have an issue recruiting folks, they just (according to some) have a problem with recruiting "diversity" I didn't say it was bad, I was merely suggesting that a new model may free up officers to be dedicated to federal level...

Curious to know what exactly this is about. At least the top brass have stepped down, which is the proper thing to do (hint hint wynne).  It also makes for bad sketch comedy where the OPP has what 3 (4) ongoing criminal investigations into the provincial government, and now their union is being...

I think you may be confusing staffing (ie the number set by politicians) with recruiting, at least in Toronto's case. Toronto doesn't have an issue with finding people to fill classes (until the PC brigade gets all uppity regarding class composition regarding gender/race etc.). I don't know...

It may not completely solve recruiting issues, but there is the chance someone from B.C. will take a more remote posting with a provincial force if it at least means they get to stay in their home province. I think another stumbling block would also be Depot is not configured to train new hires...

You will (might) learn very quickly in the military, when you go on a COURSE, when you are handed a kit list, the items contained therein are not suggestions. You aren't going to summer camp.

True, however I am pretty sure, the tow vehicle was an MSVS.

I didn't say to do it over night, and obviously it would take some planning and logistics to work out. But I think over the long (very long term) the Federal Government/RCMP should look at moving to a strictly federal agency, I think some provinces (BC/Alberta especially) have just gotten too...

I don't have an issue with what the school was quoted, if you read the article you will see, this is something they have to taken upon themselves to have (paid duties). If you have the money and you want paid duties, go for it, I say. What I (and others) have an issue with is for example a...

I don't think there is comment section anywhere that has any particularly intelligent people posting, since most are not regulated/moderated in any sort of discernible fashion.

I say meh,  if someone is voluntarily asking for paid-duty, that's on them, whatever the cost. I take umbrage when people are TOLD they MUST have paid-duty officers, whether it's for an event or construction or whatever

Regarding who is actually paying for TPS paid duty, the city requested that TPS start tracking and requiring all requests for paid duty to indicate whether or not the request was working on a city paid  project. TPS also changed how they handle paid duties, they now issue (separate) T4's for it...

Not everyone has the time nor inclination to volunteer.  Volunteering with an organization you truly like and enjoy is very altruistic and people recognize that. Volunteering for the sake of it, or to pad a resume is something people recognize as well and see right through.

Or reduce their role in municipal/provincial policing.

If you are willing to dig through police service board minutes, I believe it was at meeting last Feb-Apr (can't remember when) that board asked the Chief to provide them details on how many more officers would be included on the sunshine list if paid duties were factored in. The result was 75%...

It's always better to have something pre-arranged rather than just showing up, since a reserve unit may or may not have someone specifically tasked with recruiting, and even if they do, they may not be there on the random night a person decides to pay a visit. As well security concerns have...

I remember watching a documentary on prostitution a few years ago, and one of the women on it worked out in Vancouver, she mentioned that she did in fact pay her taxes and mentioned the voluntary disclosure program. The CRA doesn't seem to care where the funds come from, just that they get their...

Interesting, surprised (well not really actually) there isn't a link to this on the recruiting website. Also it would be helpful to make the list of which programs (at which institutions) are suitable for entry into the non-technical trades.

Yes the kilt is worn with dress and ceremonial uniforms even in winter, and it's a lot warmer than you might think, these aren't the "kilts" your female friends at a nearby catholic highschool might wear, the 48ths's kilts have like 20-30 yards of heavy weight wool in them.
