Oh just heard on the radio she issued a statement denying separatist links

Unfortunately we can't always weed out these Walter Mitty nutbar types whether they're in the PR or the Regs. What bothers me about these cases when they are reported, is if the guy has been in the military at one time or another the press always makes mention of it, even if it has no bearing on...

Excellent article!

Apart from the historical Christain Crusades in the Middle ages, yes I know what a crusade is, according to the Oxford dictionary it is; Crusade n. 2. a campaign against something believed to be bad. Having said that, yes we are on a crusade. We are on a crusade to protect Western Civilization...

Excellent article, the writer has the foresight to view current events as they will appear in history. We are in a crusade that will take decades to win. Bush and Blair will be remembered as the stalwarts of Western Civilization when all others cowered

CF Cooks!!!! By far THE most under-rated and under-appreciated trade in the service. Those guys/gals make or break any tour. We've all been there... when it's real boring what to you have to look forward to? Food! The meals; lunch, supper etc. They have always gone above and beyond for the...

Like Chimo said we are all part of the "Defence Team". One of the core values of 1 ASG states: "The Defence Team is the cornerstone of our success, and every effort will be made to leverage and enhance the military and civilian interface to the betterment of those we support." whew!   There's no...

I should re-phrase. While they are a necessary evil I'm not a big fan of DND civilian employees for this very reason; when the going gets tough, the tough haul out the collective barginning agreement. Not to paint everyone with the "same brush" just my opinion.  My belief is if you can hire a...

I always disturbs me when I hear things like this. First; that individuals are stupid enough to carry on with this behaviour after all the noz we went thru with the CAR: and secondly; that the Chain of Command is (albeit allegedly) discouraging victims from coming forward. These are serious...

Great letter sums up all the reasons why the US is the greatest country on earth

I just checked the recruiting site, nothing has changed for direct entries ref the degree/diploma (I don't how up to date the site is) but I know of a fellow that wants to re-muster and he was told by the BPSO to get a few law enforcement courses under his belt, not necessarily a whole diploma...

Again I'm not quite sure what your driving at? I don't believe CALEA makes political statements nor do any of the organizations that support CALEA like the IACP make any statements on it's behalf, as they are a separate entities with their own agendas etc. Let's be clear; The IACP (which is a...

I'm all for more power.

If it where to be acceptable as a police vehicle it would have to go through a trial process, I don't know if DC has a police market in mind for this vehicle because it would require a different wiring package/ suspension etc. A few year back Volvo tried to squeeze in on the market we had a nice...

I'm not quite sure why you believe CALEA is a commercially and politically motivated organization? Anyway the International Association of Chiefs of Police as does the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (of which the MP belong) do make political statements; however they are usually to...

POLICE PROFESSIONALISM AND ACCREDITATION     It is important to distinguish between the word (noun) profession and the word (adjective) professional because it is doubtful if the police will ever become a profession, but they can probably obtain the level of professional policing. The...

It's too bad this has devolved into useless jabs and personnel attacks. It's obvious members are not reading all the posts and are not interested in the facts just flaming each other. The fact is the MP do not require validation from an outside agency i.e. the RCMP (who are not an accredited...

GO I think your getting a little hung up in regards to civilian/ military police equivalency. Actually a good friend of mine ( WO Military Police member) is a RCMP recruit class facilitator/instructor at the Depot in Regina so I get a regular update on the training. He's been there for a couple...
